Machine Learning Engineer

Northvolt has an exciting job offer for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our stellar team in Stockholm.

As a Machine Learning Engineer within the AI team, you will use your expertise to consume large amounts of heterogenous data from our batteries, factories and R&D facilities to build products that solve important problems and lead to discovery of insights. We strive to use technology and data to co-develop solutions that matter, and welcome applicants from diverse experience levels and backgrounds.

We are searching for someone passionate about using using machine learning to solve a wide variety of problems. The ideal candidate is a curious life-long learner who takes ownership and is eager to collaborate to build better products. You enjoy communicating and empathizing with people in diverse professional roles, cultural backgrounds, and experience levels in data-driven approaches. This role is a vital member of the Digitalization team and is key to Northvolt's mission to enable the future of energy.

In this role, you will:

- Develop, evaluate, deploy and monitor state of the art algorithms (Example: Build defect detection models for vision inspection systems that run on edge on the factory floor and monitor models to avoid drift or deterioration over time)
- Apply software engineering to build efficient and scalable solutions that are deployed in a critical production setting (Example: Writing high quality, reusable code and components)
- Be encouraged to keep up to date with latest research within machine learning and sharing your knowledge (Example: Read and implement papers on relevant topics and discuss your learnings)
- Use a data-driven approach to solve unique and potentially unsolvable problems that require more than off-the-shelf algorithms (Example: Consume tremendous amounts of heterogenous data from the manufacturing process and field usage to solve the problem of remaining useful life for batteries)

Apply with CV and cover letter or your complete LinkedIn profile.

Full time employment, fixed salary.

Preferred experience:

- Python: building machine learning models and deployment pipelines in at least one deep learning framework such as TensorFlow or PyTorch
- Software engineering: version control, unix shell, testing
- Communication, communication, communication. You communicate fluently and humbly with all types of different humans choosing effective methods based on context, audience and purpose.

Not required (but bonus points):

- [Bonus] Mathematical and theoretical fundamentals (algorithms/linear algebra/statistics)
- [Bonus] Scalable data modeling and workflow management
- [Bonus] Kubernetes/Serverless infrastructure orchestration
- [Bonus] Academic publications within machine learning related fields
- [Bonus] Algorithm design, data visualization and distributed systems
- [Bonus] Manufacture industry and/or Li-ion technology experience

Skills:

- Excellent English written and oral communication skills
- Independent, organized and entrepreneurial
- Passionate team collaborator that can thrive in a diverse international environment (85+ nationalities and counting)
- Qualities that we value are flexibility, sense of quality, friendliness, motivation to take on new challenges, grit and a sense of humor


Northvolt makes green batteries for a blue planet. Affordable cells and high-quality battery systems. All manufactured with a record-low carbon footprint. Purposely built to provide Europe with the opportunity to switch to renewable energy – efficiently and entirely.

To accomplish this, we do things differently. We design, manufacture, and recycle everything under one roof. We even build our own factories. All this is incredibly challenging and requires us to think in unconventional ways. We’re constantly experimenting, learning and adapting to make batteries so great – they will one day make oil history.

Northvolt is growing fast. We’re staffing our international office in Stockholm, our R&D facility, Northvolt Labs, in Västerås, as well as our Gdansk facility for production of battery systems. We're also hiring for our two gigafactories: Northvolt Ett in Skellefteå, Sweden, and Northvolt Zwei in Salzgitter, Germany. We want to work with smart individuals from all disciplines. Strong individuals that truly want to make a positive impact on the future. Those of us already on board share a passion for our mission. We’re prepared to work hard in pursuit of excellence. We enjoy the ride and our main drive is to make a difference for real. As a team, we’re dedicated to thinking new, working hard and having fun.
