At WSCAD, we are building the next paradigm: AI-native engineering systems, where AI becomes part of the core operating layer of engineering workflows.\nWe are looking for a Senior AI Systems Engineer to help build and validate this next-generation platform. You will work on LLM production pipelines, evaluation, retrieval, orchestration, and knowledge graphs - turning engineering intent into structured, checkable, and reliable system behavior.\nAt WSCAD, AI is not a side project or an isolated feature. This role is about making AI systems work in production: defining where models should and should not make decisions, measuring their quality against real data, and building the technical foundations that make their behavior scalable, reproducible, and trustworthy.\nWhat awaits you - Your responsibilities:\nOwn evaluation. Build gold datasets, metrics, and regression tests for quality, stability, and cost. Measure whether model or prompt changes improve or worsen results.\n\nDesign the LLM boundary. Define tool contracts, structured outputs, context, uncertainty handling, and refusal paths.\n\nImprove retrieval at scale. Strengthen grounding, pattern matching, and duplicate detection, and measure the impact.\n\nConsolidate orchestration. Improve routing, re-execution, and bounded agent workflows.\n\nTurn expert knowledge into graph knowledge. Work with electrical engineers to formalize reusable circuit patterns.\n\nBe a technical sparring partner. Challenge architectural decisions with evidence and help shape the technical direction.\n\nWhat we expect - Your qualifications:\nExperience shipping and operating a production LLM system, including measurable evaluation using gold data, precision/recall or equivalent metrics, stability, and cost.\n\nStrong backend engineering skills. Experience with C#/.NET is helpful but not required.\n\nExperience with graphs, rich engineering schemas, or complex domain models.\n\nStrong understanding of the difference between prompts, specifications, and measurable system behavior.\n\nAbility to work across software engineering, electrical engineering, and product.\n\nProfessional proficiency in English and German.\n\nNice to have:\nExperience with RDF, SPARQL, SHACL, SKOS, named graphs, or triple stores.\n\nExperience with embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and reranking.\n\nExperience with LLM observability, tracing, and cost monitoring.\n\nFamiliarity with industrial information models such as IEC 81346, ECLASS, AAS, AutomationML, or ISO 15926.\n\nExperience with CAD, CAE, PLM, automation, or digital twins.\n\nExperience with agent frameworks.\n\nBenefits\nA defining role in building a new category of engineering software\nDirect influence on product architecture and strategy\nHighly competitive compensation and a long-term growth path\nA growing company with a motivated team and helpful colleagues\nFlexible working hours and a hybrid working model\n30 days annual leave\nAn individual onboarding programs\nHigh-quality advanced training\nA good working atmosphere with an open feedback culture\nBenefits package including:Company pension plan (BAV)\nCapital-forming benefits\nEmployee benefits\nTicket Plus® Card (Edenred)\nJobBike\n\nHave we picked your interest?\nDein HR-Ansprechpartner bei WSCAD\nVanessa RißTelefon: +49 8131 3627-340\nE-Mail: \nWSCAD GmbH - Office Bergkirchen\nDieselstraße 4\n85232 Bergkirchen","description_format":"text","description_chars":3449,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Flexible schedule","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CAD, PLM & BIM Software","Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Building Automation & Controls"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T18:36:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":74,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.819,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:34","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T08:43:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14028,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1766101},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1766101"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwscad-senior-ai-systems-engineer-mfd"}]}
