AI Systems Engineer

AI Systems Engineer
Tulsa, OK (Onsite)
Target Compensation: $110K–$150K base

Overview

We are partnering with a growing, innovation-focused manufacturing organization to add an AI Systems Engineer to their internal technology team. This is a hands-on role working directly with senior AI leadership to design and deploy practical AI solutions integrated into core business systems and operations.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys building real-world AI applications—not just models—across ERP, automation, and operational workflows.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain AI-powered applications and internal tools
• Develop APIs, backend services, and system integrations supporting AI workflows
• Partner on initiatives including:
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • LLM-based applications and AI agents
  • Intelligent document processing & OCR systems
  • Workflow automation and AI-assisted operations
  • ERP data integrations and reporting dashboards
• Design and optimize data pipelines and structures for AI use
• Identify opportunities to automate business processes using AI
• Contribute in a fast-moving, collaborative development environment

Core Technical Requirements (Must-Have)

• Strong Python development skills (backend-focused)
• Experience building or contributing to AI/ML applications or intelligent systems
• Solid understanding of:
  • Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • RAG architectures
  • Embeddings/vector search
  • AI workflow orchestration
• Experience with:
  • API development and system integration
  • SQL / data handling
• Comfortable working across backend systems, data, and AI layers

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with AI tooling/frameworks such as:
  • LangChain, OpenAI APIs, Ollama
  • FastAPI
  • PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Familiarity with:
  • Docker, Linux environments, and GPU-based systems
• Exposure to ERP systems, manufacturing, or operations tech

Background

• Bachelor's degree in CS, AI, ML, Software Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred)
• Open to candidates with professional, academic, or project-based AI experience

Why This Role Stands Out

• Highly practical AI use cases (not theoretical work)
• Direct collaboration with AI leadership
• Opportunity to influence automation and transformation across operations
• Stable environment with long-term investment in AI capabilities

If you're a builder who enjoys turning AI concepts into production-ready systems, this is an excellent opportunity to make a measurable impact.
