Position Overview

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a key role in building the AI core that powers Permobil’s next generation of intelligent systems – ranging from internal copilots and automation agents to customer-facing assistive technologies. In this role, you will design, deploy, and optimize the models and pipelines that bring advanced intelligence into our platform. Working within a modern Azure AI ecosystem, you will connect LLMs, embeddings, knowledge graphs, and real-world business data to create production-ready AI solutions that deliver measurable impact. You will collaborate closely with AI developers, data scientists, and backend engineers to transform cutting-edge models into scalable, secure, and well-governed AI services that support Permobil’s mission to improve lives through innovation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement ML pipelines for model training, evaluation, and deployment using Azure Machine Learning, AI Foundry, and Fabric Notebooks,
  • Build and maintain retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and embedding pipelines leveraging Azure OpenAI Service, Cognitive Search, and Azure Storage,
  • Develop robust data ingestion and preprocessing workflows using Fabric or Databricks,
  • Implement continuous training and evaluation loops following MLOps principles in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions,
  • Collaborate with AI developers to integrate models into production services such as FastAPI, gRPC, or event-driven architectures,
  • Monitor and optimize model performance, cost, and latency across multiple environments,
  • Contribute to internal SDKs for model orchestration, feature engineering, and evaluation frameworks.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field,
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow,
  • Deep understanding of Azure Machine Learning, AI Foundry, and the broader Azure AI/ML ecosystem,
  • Experience deploying and scaling models using AKS, App Services, or Azure Container Instances,
  • Solid experience working with data pipelines and feature engineering using Data Factory, Fabric, or Databricks,
  • Strong understanding of vector search, embeddings, and RAG architectures,
  • Familiarity with CI/CD practices, model registries, monitoring, and ML governance principles,
  • Experience working in agile development environments,
  • Fluency in English; proficiency in Swedish is considered a plus.

Meriting Skills

  • Experience with LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and custom embedding generation,
  • Knowledge of orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or similar tools,
  • Exposure to Azure Cognitive Services, Responsible AI practices, or AI governance frameworks,
  • Background in data-centric AI, including evaluation and benchmarking of generative model quality.
