Roles & Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities :
- Apply data science and machine learning techniques to model, simulate, and optimize the behavior of lubricants, dispersants, and related materials.
- Collaborate with R&D, Engineering, and Product teams to uncover insights from experimental, simulation, and operational datasets.
- Develop, validate, and deploy predictive models using Azure Machine Learning, supporting product development and process optimization.
- Translate tribological and physico-chemical domain knowledge into interpretable machine learning features and modeling strategies.
- Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to identify trends, anomalies, and correlations in large-scale, multi-source datasets.
- Build and maintain pipelines and models for continuous learning and performance monitoring in production environments.
- Contribute to the development of scientific publications, patents, or internal knowledge bases.
- Support data governance, data quality, and reproducibility of scientific modeling efforts.
Required Qualifications :
MSc or PhD in Tribology, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field with strong data science exposure.Solid understanding of lubricants, dispersants, and their chemical / physical mechanisms.3+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or computational modeling roles.Proficiency in Python and key data science libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, matplotlib).Hands-on experience with Azure Machine Learning (AML) – model training, deployment, versioning, and monitoring.Familiarity with statistical modeling, optimization, and time-series or multivariate analysis.Preferred Qualifications :
