2+ (3+ years for Sr. Associate) years of hands-on experience building and deploying ML solutions in production -not just notebooks and prototypes. You've trained models, put them into production, and maintained them.
Strong Python and JavaScript programming skills with deep experience in the ML ecosystem (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, PyTorch or TensorFlow, etc.) and proficiency with JavaScript web app development.
Solid foundation in ML fundamentals : supervised and unsupervised learning, model evaluation, feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and understanding of when different approaches are appropriate.
Experience with cloud ML platforms , particularly Azure Machine Learning, with working knowledge of AWS SageMaker or Google AI Platform. We're platform-flexible but Microsoft-preferred.
Proficiency with data platforms : SQL, Snowflake, Databricks, or similar. You're comfortable working with large datasets and building data pipelines.
Experience with LLMs and generative AI : prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, RAG systems, or agent frameworks. You understand both the capabilities and limitations.
Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and work effectively with cross-functional teams.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).
Willingness to travel approximately 30% to client sites as needed.
Preferences:
Experience in Financial Services, Manufacturing, or Energy & Utilities industries.
Background in forecasting, optimization, or financial modeling applications.
Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, Tensorflow, fastai, DeepSpeed, etc.
Experience with MLOps tools such as MLflow and Weights & Biases
Contributions to open-source projects or familiarity with open-source ML tools and frameworks.
Experience building agentic AI systems using Agent Framework (or predecessors), LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar frameworks.
Cloud certifications (Azure AI Engineer, AWS ML Specialty, or Databricks ML Associate).

Huron is a global consultancy that collaborates with clients to drive strategic growth, ignite innovation, and navigate constant change. We're seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join the Data Science & Machine Learning team in our Commercial Digital practice, where you'll design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that solve complex business problems across Financial Services, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, and other commercial industries.
This isn't a research role or a support function-you'll own the full ML solution lifecycle from problem definition through production deployment. You'll work on systems that matter: forecasting models that inform multi-million-dollar decisions, agentic AI systems that automate complex workflows, and operational ML solutions that transform how enterprises run. Our clients are Fortune 500 companies looking for partners who can deliver, not just advise.
The variety is real. In your first year, you might build an agentic demand forecasting system for a global manufacturer, deploy an intelligent knowledge processing pipeline for a financial services firm, and architect an energy grid demand simulation model for a utilities company. If you thrive on learning new domains quickly and shipping intelligent production systems, this role is for you.
