Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Role Overview:

We are hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to support the development and deployment of Digital Oilfield analytics and optimization solutions. The role focuses on using AI/ML techniques to enhance production efficiency, predictive maintenance, and real-time decision support across upstream oilfield systems.


Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy ML models for production forecasting, downtime prediction, and well performance optimization.

• Build pipelines to process and analyze real-time sensor data (pressure, temperature, flow) from wells and surface facilities.

• Design and implement data-driven anomaly detection models to identify potential failures in well and pipeline systems.

• Collaborate with petroleum and production engineers to translate business challenges into ML-based workflows.

• Build ML APIs, integrate models with visualization dashboards (e.g., Power BI, Grafana), and enable continuous learning systems.

• Automate data collection and feature engineering from PI, SCADA, and historian systems.

• Apply time series analysis, regression, and classification methods for operational prediction.

• Implement scalable ML pipelines using cloud-based or containerized infrastructure (Azure/AWS preferred).

• Ensure data governance, model validation, and quality assurance before deployment.


Desired Candidate Profile

Required Skills & Experience:

• Hands-on experience with Python, Pandas, NumPy, and ML frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).

• Strong understanding of ML lifecycle (data prep → model building → deployment → monitoring).

• Solid experience in building time series models, regression/classification, and anomaly detection systems.

• Familiarity with oilfield operational data (PI, SCADA, historian, or DCS data).

• Understanding of upstream production systems and KPIs (flow, pressure, temperature, ESPs, pumps, compressors).

• Proficiency in building APIs or ML pipelines for real-time monitoring or digital twin applications.


Nice to Have:

• Experience in predictive maintenance or reliability modeling.

• Familiarity with Digital Oilfield platforms (Avocet, OFM, Kappa, or equivalent).

• MLOps exposure (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, model tracking).

• Basic knowledge of reservoir/production engineering concepts.

• Experience integrating ML with visualization tools (Grafana, Power BI, Streamlit).
