Job Description

At Oshkosh, we build, serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18,000 team members all united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation help keep soldiers and firefighters safe, is critical in building and keeping communities clean and helps people do their jobs every day.

The Engineer – Product Artificial Intelligence (AI) works within engineering groups to support the implementation of products containing artificial intelligence and leveraging machine learning (ML) to optimize engineering processes and advanced vehicle system control strategies. Product AI development work encompasses development and verification for integrated AI products for design and controls of engine, hybrid and electric vehicles, for components (electronic control modules, motors, drives, drives, engines, generators, energy storage cells, sensors, etc.), and for autonomous vehicle systems, advanced suspensions systems, material handling systems, and other auxiliary systems for on-road and off-road applications.

Your Impact:

• Design, build, and deploy machine learning and deep learning models to solve product-specific challenges (e.g., predictive analytics, optimization, computer vision, natural language processing).
• Collaborate with product development teams to integrate AI models into scalable, production-ready systems.
• Collect, clean, and preprocess large datasets to support training and evaluation of AI models.
• Stay up to date on emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and best practices, and proactively propose applications that improve product capabilities.
• Monitor and refine AI and ML models to ensure reliability, accuracy, and efficiency in real-world use cases.
• Partner with product managers, UX/UI designers, and engineering teams to align AI features with user needs and business goals.

Ensure all AI/ML systems are well-documented, explainable, and compliant with relevant ethical and regulatory standards. Deliver results according to Oshkosh and general industry engineering standards and processes.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Coudera or GCP) for AI/ML model deployment.
• Apply CV/OCR/layout parsing to extract dimensions, GD&T/tolerances, and BOM from drawings; validate against standards and flag inconsistencies.
• Knowledge and Capability with deep learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow), plus LLM tooling (e.g., LangChain/LlamaIndex, vector stores, embeddings).
• Ability to generate production-grade scripts and templates (e.g., Python/C#/JS) that automate CAD/PLM/CAE workflows, data cleansing, report generation, and dashboard scaffolding—complete with tests and linting.
• Other duties as assigned.
• Regular attendance is required.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Accredited Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, or related field with Internship or Co-op experience with either artificial intelligence or machine learning applications.

Stand Out Qualifications:

• Masters degree or higher in computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, data engineering or data science.
• Experience with computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, or generative AI.
• Knowledge of MLOps practices, including CI/CD for machine learning and monitoring model drift.
• Course project knowledge of mechanical drawings, CAD and product lifecycle management.
• Automotive or heavy duty on or off-road vehicle, digital data bus, including Ethernet or Controller Area Network (CAN) experiences a plus.
• Experience with edge AI deployment or real-time inference in embedded systems.
