About UptimeAI

UptimeAI builds AI-driven solutions that reduce downtime and improve efficiency for industrial clients. We combine advanced AI/ML with deep subject-matter expertise to connect upstream/downstream behavior, adapt to change, pinpoint issues early, and provide prescriptive, explainable recommendations.

Role Summary

Lead the strategy and delivery of operator-assist AI agents that reduce cognitive load, accelerate decision-making, and improve reliability/throughput. You’ll partner with Data Science/ML, Engineering, Design, and SMEs to ship safe, measurable AI capabilities grounded in plant workflows and industrial data.

What you’ll build

• Ask & Explain Agents – NL answers with citations to plant data/knowledge.
• Detect & Triage Agents – Prioritize signals, cluster issues, surface “what first” with rationale.
• Diagnose & Advise Agents – Hypotheses, likely causes, and safe next steps with evidence trails.
• Optimize & Plan Agents – Suggestions for run-windows, guardrails, or maintenance planning.
• Automate & Document Agents – Draft shift notes/reports, pre-fill tickets—always human-in-the-loop.
• Learn & Improve Agents – Capture operator feedback and post-event learnings under governance.
• Principles: explainability, role-based access, auditability, human confirmation before actions.

Responsibilities

• Translate operator/reliability jobs-to-be-done into agent capabilities, success criteria, and safe workflows.
• Partner with DS/ML on retrieval & evaluation (offline/online), quality bars (task success, time-to-answer), and safety (hallucination gating, RBAC/ABAC, audit).
• Define data needs across time-series, events/alarms, asset hierarchies, procedures/docs ; guide pragmatic integrations (historians, SCADA/MES, CMMS/EAM).
• Drive pilots via feature flags , scale what works, publish internal playbooks and customer-approved case studies.
• Support GTM with value narratives (noise↓, MTTR↓, throughput/energy↑) without disclosing feature roadmaps.

Qualifications

Required

• 7–12 years in Product Management, including 3+ years shipping AI/ML or GenAI experiences (assistants, retrieval/RAG, agentic workflows) in production .
• Industrial/process domain fluency in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, or Chemicals (reliability, predictive maintenance, maintenance operations).
• Data/platform literacy: time-series historians, events/alarms , asset models; familiarity with SCADA/MES and CMMS/EAM concepts.
• Proven collaboration with DS/ML on prompts/retrieval design, evaluation datasets, online experiments, and safety/guardrails.
• Enterprise SaaS delivery: discovery → PRD → beta → GA; adoption instrumentation and outcome metrics.
• Excellent communication; track record driving cross-functional alignment with Eng/DS/Design/GTM and customers.

Preferred

• Experience with digital twins , 2D/3D/P&IDs, or asset-centric search.
• Global rollout exposure (data residency, access controls, regulatory contexts).
• Pricing/packaging for AI add-ons and ROI storytelling (case studies, value calculators).
• Public speaking/thought leadership (industry forums) and/or published content.
• MBA or advanced technical degree (Engineering, Data Science, Operations Research).
