Senior Data Scientist
Type: Full-time
Location: Mumbai
Role Overview
We are hiring a Senior Data Scientist (3–5 years of experience) with strong expertise in Industrial AI, Machine Learning, and Generative AI. This role is focused on solving real-time, production-grade industrial problems using advanced ML, optimization techniques, and next-generation AI systems.
You will work on end-to-end AI solutions—from data modeling and algorithm design to scalable cloud deployment—across domains such as Energy Management, Process Industries, Vibration Monitoring, and Industrial Optimization. The role demands deep hands-on experience in time-series modeling, optimization algorithms, MLOps, and GenAI/LLM systems, not just experimentation.
As a senior contributor, you will also influence AI architecture, modeling standards, and best practices, while mentoring junior team members and collaborating closely with Product and Engineering teams.

You should not apply with us if-
- You don’t want to work in agile environments.
- The unpredictability and super iterative nature of start- ups scare you.
- You hate working with people who are smarter than you.
- You don’t thrive in self-driven, “owner mindset” environments- nothing wrong- just not our type!
About us
We’re Faclon Labs- a high-growth, deep-tech start-up on a mission to make infrastructure and utilities smarter using IoT and SaaS. Sounds heavy? That’s because we do heavy lifting- in tech, in thinking, and in creating real-world impact. We’re not your average startup. We don’t do corporate fluff. We do ownership, fast iterations, and big ideas. If you're looking for ping-pong tables, we're still saving up. But if you want to shape the soul of the company while it's being built- this is the place!
