Operations Engineer

Role Description

As a Remote Operations Engineer, you will be at the forefront of the Process Engineering as a Service (PEaaS), a revolutionary initiative bridging the gap between traditional manufacturing and AI-driven automation. You will provide human oversight and domain expertise to our AI agents, solving critical operational challenges like high turnover and staffing shortages in industrial environments. This is a unique opportunity to move from traditional on-site process engineering to a tech-forward, remote role where you will directly influence the scalability of AI in manufacturing.

A Day In Your Life

• Continuous Monitoring: Utilize AI-powered dashboards to monitor production performance, process conditions, and critical operating metrics for industrial manufacturing lines.
• Anomaly Management: Review AI-generated alarms and process deviations; surface and prioritize anomalies to ensure operational continuity.
• Real-time Coordination: Act as a critical liaison between Augury's AI insights and on-site personnel, guiding operational workflows and supporting operators with day-to-day decisions via Teams or VoIP.
• Documentation & Handoffs: Maintain meticulous operational logs and key event documentation, ensuring structured handoffs between night shifts and day-time on-site teams.
• Domain Expertise: Provide human-in-the-loop escalation support, applying your manufacturing background to troubleshoot complex industrial process issues.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, or a related technical field.
• 4–8 years of experience operating, monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing industrial manufacturing processes.
