What is a Sr Machine Learning Engineer?

Senior Machine Learning Engineers are experienced professionals who design, develop, and implement machine learning models and systems. They work on complex problems, lead technical projects, and often mentor junior engineers. Their responsibilities include data preprocessing, model selection, algorithm development, and optimizing solutions for scalability and performance. Senior ML Engineers also collaborate closely with data scientists, software engineers, and stakeholders to integrate machine learning into products and services.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Sr Machine Learning Engineer?

To thrive as a Sr Machine Learning Engineer, you need advanced expertise in machine learning theory, programming (Python, R), data modeling, and a strong background in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), and relevant certifications (like TensorFlow Developer) is highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to lead and mentor teams set top candidates apart. These skills ensure the ability to design scalable ML solutions, collaborate effectively, and drive impactful business outcomes.

How does a Sr Machine Learning Engineer typically collaborate with data scientists and software engineers within a project team?

Sr Machine Learning Engineers frequently act as a bridge between data scientists, who focus on model development and experimentation, and software engineers, who handle system integration and production deployment. They translate prototype models into scalable, production-ready solutions, ensuring that models are optimized for real-world performance. Collaboration often involves reviewing code, aligning on data pipeline requirements, and participating in regular team meetings to address technical and business objectives. This cross-functional teamwork is essential for delivering reliable machine learning products.

What is the difference between Sr Machine Learning Engineer vs Data Scientist?

AspectSr Machine Learning EngineerData Scientist
CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in CS, ML, or related fields; experience with ML frameworksBachelor's/Master's/PhD in CS, Statistics, or related fields; strong analytical skills

Job description

CURRENT EMPLOYEES - Please apply using "Jobs Hub" in Workday. This career site is for external applicants only.

The Senior Reservoir Engineer is a recognized technical authority responsible for leading advanced reservoir engineering evaluations and shaping development strategy for unconventional assets. This role requires deep, hands on expertise in shale reservoir engineering, including RTA, PVT, DFIT, CPG interpretation, fracture modeling and reservoir simulation, complemented by modern analytics, including machine leaning, SQL-based data workflows, and visualization platforms (e.g., Spotfire). This engineer operates with a high degree of autonomy, influences asset level decisions, and provides technical mentorship across reservoir engineering teams.


Job Responsibilities:

Include but are not limited to

  • Serve as a technical authority for unconventional reservoir engineering, providing guidance on well performance, spacing, and development optimization.
  • Lead advanced RTA and diagnostics to evaluate DSU optimization, interference, depletion, and completion effectiveness.
  • Perform and oversee PVT, pressure, DFIT, and fracture data analysis to characterize reservoir properties, stress regimes, and fracture behavior.
  • Apply fracture modeling, reservoir simulation, and forecasting to support completion design, spacing decisions, and development planning.
  • Leverage advanced analytics, machine learning, SQL, and structured data workflows to identify performance drivers and screen opportunities across large datasets.
  • Develop and maintain Spotfire dashboards and analytical tools to support surveillance, diagnostics, and assetlevel decision making.
  • Provide economic evaluation and clear technical recommendations, collaborate crossfunctionally, and mentor reservoir engineers while communicating insights to leadership.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • 10+ years of reservoir engineering experience, including at least 5 years focused on unconventional reservoirs.
  • Demonstrated technical mastery of RTA, PVT, DFIT, CPG, fracture modeling, and reservoir simulation.
  • Strong analytical capability with handson experience working with production, pressure, and completion data.
  • Proven ability to independently evaluate complex reservoir problems and influence development decisions.
  • Proficiency with industrystandard reservoir engineering tools, workflows, and data analytics.
  • Effective communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to technical and nontechnical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Proficiency in SQLbased data analysis and working with large, structured subsurface datasets.
