We are seeking an Senior  Automation Engineer with 6+ years strong hands-on experience in AI/ML model validation and testing. This role focuses on ensuring the quality, reliability, accuracy, and robustness of AI/ML and LLM-based systems through systematic validation, data quality checks, and automated evaluation pipelines.

The ideal candidate has solid experience working with supervised ML models, LLMs, and ML pipelines, strong Python-based validation scripting skills, and a deep understanding of data, model behavior, and evaluation metrics.

Key Responsibilities

AI / ML Model Validation

• Design and execute validation strategies for AI/ML models, including supervised learning models and large language models (LLMs).
• Perform functional, regression, and behavioral testing of ML models across versions.
• Validate model outputs for accuracy, consistency, bias, and edge cases.
• Evaluate LLM responses for correctness, relevance, hallucinations, and safety.

Data Quality, Drift & Monitoring

• Design and implement data quality validation checks for training, validation, and inference datasets.
• Detect and analyze data drift and concept drift across model iterations and production data.
• Validate input data assumptions, feature distributions, and schema consistency.
• Collaborate with data and ML engineers to identify and resolve data-related issues impacting model performance.

Python-Based Validation & Automation

• Develop Python-based validation scripts and frameworks to automate:
  • Model evaluation
  • Data validation
  • Regression testing across model versions
• Implement automated checks for model performance metrics (precision, recall, F1, accuracy, etc.).
• Build reusable validation utilities that integrate with ML workflows and pipelines.

LLM & Advanced AI Testing

• Execute LLM evaluation workflows, including:
  • Prompt‑response validation
  • Golden dataset comparisons
  • Regression testing across prompt or model changes
• Contribute to evaluation strategies for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) or multi‑step LLM pipelines.
• Support responsible AI initiatives by testing bias, robustness, and failure modes.

Collaboration & Quality Ownership

• Work closely with ML engineers, data scientists, platforms, and product teams.
• Actively participate in requirement discussions and model review sessions.
• Clearly document test results, risks, and quality insights for stakeholders.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of AI testing practices and standards.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in AI/ML model testing, validation, or quality engineering.
• Strong proficiency in Python for model validation and data analysis.
• Experience validating supervised ML models and/or LLM-based systems.
• Solid understanding of ML evaluation metrics and validation techniques.
• Experience with data quality checks, drift detection, and dataset validation.
• Familiarity with ML pipelines and model lifecycle (training, validation, inference).
• Ability to analyze model behavior and explain quality risks clearly.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
