AI/ML Operations Engineer

Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.  We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, and the South Pole.

We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are 1,800 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.

Fermilab's Accelerator Division operates, maintains, and improves the laboratory's accelerator complex, beam lines and beam targets. We drive scientific discovery by delivering particle beams for experiments. We also conduct accelerator physics research and design and build accelerators to extend the scientific reach of existing facilities.

The Accelerator Division seeks an AI/ML Operations Engineer to implement Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) best practices. The Division has a collection of teams researching and developing AI/ML models to enhance the performance of Fermilab’s particle accelerators. The individual will implement an MLOps workflow for data and models to ensure verification, validation, assurance, and trust during model development, deployment, and monitoring. 

The appointment will be for a one-year term with the potential of an extension thereafter.
