About the role

Risk Model Engineer building explainable, validated gas distribution risk models for Irth’s AI-driven pipeline integrity platform. Defining threat frameworks and prioritization outputs for utilities.

Responsibilities

Own the gas distribution risk models within Irth’s analytical layer
Help define gas distribution threat frameworks and model sets with subject-matter experts and design-partner operators
Build risk models and take them through validation
Produce outputs that utilities can use to prioritize replacement programs and support regulatory proceedings
Translate the gas distribution threat framework into systematic threat identification methods and supporting data structures
Integrate model inputs from diverse datasets across Irth’s product offerings
Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and limitations in source data and determine how they should be reflected in model inputs and outputs
Extend threat coverage across legacy material corrosion, plastic embrittlement, excavation damage, cross-bores, and other gas distribution threats
Own model content, including what the model computes, why it computes it, and evidence supporting its validity
Collaborate with dedicated ML Ops and data engineering teams responsible for model serving, data pipelines, deployment, and monitoring infrastructure

Relevant experience in gas distribution integrity management, including program design, threat identification under 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart P, and replacement prioritization
Experience with legacy material risk, including cast iron, bare steel, vintage plastics, and plastic embrittlement
Experience with leak survey, methane detection, and cross-bore programs
Machine learning applied to physical asset data, including time-series, survival, anomaly-detection, and classification models
Strong depth in one or more relevant capability areas
Curiosity and judgment to work across other capability areas
