Our vision is to democratize AI - unlocking the full depth and breadth of human potential through our suite of AI applications, a
world-class ML framework and platform that transforms data into actionable intelligence. 


About the role:

We are seeking a highly experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems to join our team and guide the development of , an advanced analytical and machine learning platform for production optimization.

This role is designed for a senior professional who combines deep ESP domain knowledge with the ability to collaborate on the integration of cutting-edge ML solutions that deliver unprecedented value to operators.

 

Responsibilities:
 

•    Act as the technical authority for ESP design, operations, and optimization within n.lift

   

•    Define and validate core ESP performance calculations, physics-based workflows, and diagnostic methodologies.

   

•    Work with data scientists to embed machine learning models into engineering workflows, ensuring results are physically sound, explainable, and actionable.

   

•    Review and validate hybrid (physics + ML) algorithms for optimization, prediction, and anomaly detection.

   

•    Provide domain expertise to ensure ML outputs align with real-world ESP performance, failure modes, and operational constraints.

   

•    Collaborate with software engineers to translate ESP physics, correlations, and field practices into scalable algorithms and user-facing tools.

   

•    Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge transfer across the team.

   

•    Support product strategy by identifying high-value use cases for analytics + ML integration in artificial lift management.

   

•    Represent as an industry thought leader in the application of advanced analytics and ML to ESP systems.

Qualifications:
 

• years of direct experience with ESP systems (design, operations, optimization, or troubleshooting).

   

•    Expertise in ESP diagnostics (power, current, voltage, vibration, performance degradation, failure mechanisms).

   

•    Solid understanding of petroleum production systems, artificial lift methods, and multiphase flow.

   

•    Experience collaborating with software/ML teams on applied AI solutions (not required to build ML models, but able to guide and validate them technically).

   

•    Strong analytical mindset with the ability to balance physics-based engineering and data-driven insights.

   

•    Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and client engagement.

   

•    Advanced degree (preferred) or equivalent experience in Petroleum, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering.

This is a strategic role at the intersection of engineering expertise and machine learning innovation.

As SME, you will ensure that becomes the industry's most trusted AI-driven ESP optimization and system health platform, combining the best of engineering science with the power of data.
