POSITION SUMMARY

NewCold is seeking an AI Associate Optimization to enhance the performance and efficiency of our AI-powered solutions within our highly automated cold chain logistics network. This role focuses on optimizing machine learning models deployed in warehouse operations, ensuring low latency, high throughput, and accurate predictions for improved decision-making. You will be instrumental in bridging the gap between data science and real-world deployment, contributing to the continuous improvement of our automated systems. This position requires a strong understanding of model serving, containerization, and edge AI technologies.

YOUR ROLE

As an AI Associate Optimization, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of AI models powering NewCold’s automated warehouse processes. You will be responsible for optimizing models for deployment across diverse infrastructure, including cloud and edge environments, directly impacting operational efficiency, cost reduction, and the overall effectiveness of our logistics solutions. Your work will contribute to maintaining NewCold’s competitive edge through cutting-edge AI implementation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Implement model optimization techniques such as quantization and knowledge distillation to reduce model size and improve inference speed for deployment on edge devices and cloud infrastructure.
• Develop and maintain CI / CD pipelines for automated model deployment and updates, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
• Benchmark and profile model performance (latency, throughput, memory usage) to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
• Deploy and manage machine learning models using model serving frameworks like TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, ONNX Runtime, or Triton Inference Server.
• Containerize AI models and applications using Docker and Podman for consistent and reproducible deployments.
• Collaborate with data scientists and software engineers to troubleshoot model performance issues and implement solutions.
• Monitor model performance in production and proactively address any degradation in accuracy or efficiency.
• Develop and maintain APIs / SDKs (REST, gRPC, FastAPI) for accessing and integrating AI models into various applications.
• Work with edge devices (NVIDIA Jetson, Coral TPU, ARM-based boards) and edge frameworks (TensorRT, OpenVINO, TFLite, TVM) to optimize models for low-power, real-time inference.
