• Design and demonstrate machine learning approaches for anomaly detections, behaviour baselining, clustering and predictive use-cases
• Support the engineering of operational systems utilising intelligence; translating analytical outputs into actionable recommendations and supporting operational decisions
• Ensure proposed intelligence approaches are grounded in reality, not unnecessarily complex and meet solution requirements around latency, safety, explainability and accuracy
• Collaborate with solution architects and engineers to align intelligence approaches with the overall system architecture
• Develop demonstrators, prototypes and technical collateral materials and to showcase solution approaches and communicate complex AI concepts to multidisciplinary stakeholders such as engineers, industry domain experts, business leaders, academics and government representatives.
