Our mission is to reimagine the performance of buildings to serve people, places, and the planet. Join a winning team that enables you to build your best future! Our teams are uniquely positioned to support a multitude of industries across the globe. You will have the opportunity to develop yourself through meaningful work projects and learning opportunities. We strive to provide our employees with an experience focused on supporting their physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing.\r\nWhat We Offer\r\nCompetitive salary\r\nPaid vacation/holidays/sick time\r\nComprehensive benefits package including 401K, medical, dental, and vision care\r\nOn-the-job/cross-training opportunities\r\nEncouraging and collaborative team environment\r\nDedication to safety through our Zero Harm policy\r\nAbout This Role\r\nJohnson Controls is bringing AI into the way the world's most demanding buildings operate—from datacenters and hospitals to pharmaceutical facilities and commercial campuses. We are transforming our smart building products into AI-native platforms that can reason about building operations, assist operators intelligently, and accelerate how our engineering teams build and ship software.\r\nThis Senior AI/ML Engineer role sits at the center of that transformation. You will do two things in roughly equal measure: build production AI/ML and GenAI capabilities directly into our smart building products, and raise the AI engineering capability of the broader Controls Software team so we can run more programs, faster, with AI embedded in how we work.\r\nYou will be embedded in a scrum team in Milwaukee, working hands-on with engineers, data scientists, and product managers. You will become a key technical voice on how AI is designed, built, and deployed across the Controls Software portfolio.\r\nWhat You'll Do\r\nYour work falls into two equally weighted pillars\r\nPillar 1 — Build AI Products\r\nAI/ML & GenAI Engineering\r\nDesign, build, and deploy AI/ML models and GenAI capabilities into our smart building products across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments\r\nDevelop LLM-powered features including operator copilots, intelligent alarm management, and natural language interfaces for building operations\r\nBuild and maintain data pipelines, model integration layers, and inference infrastructure for real-time BAS use cases\r\nImplement RAG architectures, agentic workflows, and prompt engineering patterns for production GenAI applications\r\nContribute to MLOps practices: model versioning, monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement pipelines\r\nPillar 2 — Accelerate the Team\r\nTeam Capability & Velocity\r\nIdentify and implement AI-assisted developer tooling to accelerate product development—code generation, test automation, CI/CD intelligence, and review workflows\r\nMentor engineers on the team in AI/ML and GenAI engineering practices, elevating team capability over time\r\nDefine and document reusable AI engineering patterns, reference implementations, and best practices the team can build against\r\nPartner with data scientists and architects to translate research and prototypes into production-ready systems\r\nContribute to roadmap and scoping conversations by bringing AI feasibility and complexity assessments grounded in hands-on experience\r\nRequired Qualifications\r\nWe are looking for a senior engineer who has shipped AI/ML and GenAI systems in production and can operate as a technical leader within a product scrum team.\r\nAI/ML Engineering\r\n7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years building and deploying AI/ML systems in production\r\nHands-on experience with the full ML lifecycle: data preparation, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining\r\nStrong foundation in machine learning fundamentals—supervised/unsupervised learning, time-series modeling, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics\r\nProficiency in Python and relevant ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or equivalent)\r\nExperience with MLOps tooling: experiment tracking, model registries, deployment pipelines, and observability\r\nGenAI & LLM Development\r\nHands-on experience building production applications across multiple LLM providers (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and open-source models)\r\nWorking knowledge of RAG architectures, vector databases, embedding pipelines, and retrieval strategies\r\nExperience with agentic frameworks, multi-agent orchestration, and tool-calling patterns—including emerging standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, or custom implementations)\r\nStrong evaluation discipline: ability to design, run, and reason about LLM evaluation pipelines—incl. eval datasets, LLM-as-judge techniques, and regression testing for prompts and model behavior\r\nExperience with LLM observability and tracing—instrumenting model calls, tool calls, and retrievals in production (e.g., LangSmith, LangFuse, or OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions)\r\nEngineering Craft\r\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: clean code, system design, API development, and distributed systems\r\nExperience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes)\r\nComfortable working in an agile scrum team—shipping iteratively, participating in design reviews, and writing code others can maintain\r\nAbility to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and influence product decisions with data\r\nPreferred Qualifications\r\nExperience in industrial, OT, IoT, or building automation environments\r\nFamiliarity with time-series data platforms and protocols such as BACnet, MQTT, or OPC UA\r\nExperience with edge AI deployment and latency-constrained inference environments\r\nBackground in energy systems, HVAC, fault detection & diagnostics, or predictive maintenance use cases\r\nExperience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives within a product team\r\nFamiliarity with cybersecurity considerations in OT/IoT environments\r\nExperience implementing AI safety guardrails, content filtering, and governance controls for production GenAI systems\r\nExperience with LLM cost optimization—model selection, caching, token efficiency, and routing strategies\r\nWhat Success Looks Like\r\nAI/ML and GenAI features you build are shipping in our smart building products and delivering measurable value to customers\r\nDeveloper tooling and AI-assisted workflows you introduce meaningfully reduce cycle time for the Controls SW team\r\nEngineers you mentor are independently applying AI/ML and GenAI patterns to new problems\r\nYou are a trusted technical voice on the team—shaping how AI is designed, prioritized, and built across the roadmap\r\nThe team's capacity to run AI-powered programs grows directly because of your presence\r\nWhy Johnson Controls\r\nWork on AI problems that have direct physical impact—buildings that use less energy, run more reliably, and operate more safely\r\nJoin a team that is actively investing in AI as a core product capability, not a side project\r\nCollaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, product managers, and domain experts in building automation\r\nCompetitive compensation, benefits, and career growth within a global engineering organization\r\nSALARY RANGE : $85,000 - $127,000 (Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.) This position includes a competitive benefits package. The posted salary range reflects the target compensation for this role.
