Learn the full AI engineering stack
Strengthen machine learning fundamentals, deep learning, LLM application engineering, retrieval, agents, evaluation, deployment, inference, and production reliability.
MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEERING + AI
A 16-week, part-time online Machine Learning and AI Engineering program for software engineers and technical professionals preparing for Machine Learning Engineer (MLE), AI Engineer, LLM Systems, ML Infrastructure, and Inference Engineering roles.
Learn the engineering foundations behind modern machine learning systems and apply them through hands-on work in LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, model serving, inference optimization, MLOps, and scalable deployment.
Strengthen machine learning fundamentals, deep learning, LLM application engineering, retrieval, agents, evaluation, deployment, inference, and production reliability.
Design end-to-end ML and LLM applications with APIs, serving layers, caching, observability, evaluation pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and scalable deployment patterns.
Translate your projects and prior engineering experience into strong resume bullets, deep-dive narratives, system design discussions, and role-specific interview answers.
The program focuses on the technical areas most relevant to modern Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, ML Systems, and LLM infrastructure work.
Training pipelines, evaluation, feature engineering, experiments, error analysis, monitoring, and reliable model deployment.
Embeddings, retrieval, chunking, vector search, hybrid search, reranking, prompt orchestration, and evaluation.
Tool use, workflow orchestration, memory, state management, fallbacks, guardrails, human-in-the-loop patterns, and observability.
Design scalable recommendation, search, ranking, real-time inference, feature pipelines, and distributed machine learning systems.
Model serving, batching, scheduling, KV cache, GPU utilization, vLLM, Triton concepts, latency, throughput, and cost tradeoffs.
APIs, containers, Kubernetes, autoscaling, caching, queues, observability, CI/CD, cloud deployment, and production reliability.
PROGRAM COMPLETION
Your final work is structured to demonstrate production thinking: model quality, system architecture, latency, scalability, cost, reliability, and measurable outcomes.
See what you’ll build →Presented upon successful completion of the program and final project review.
The 16-week curriculum is organized as a career transition path for MLE and AI Engineer roles, with deeper emphasis on production machine learning, LLM systems, RAG, inference, deployment, evaluation, and ML system design.
WEEKS 1–3
Refresh the concepts that matter for engineering interviews and production modeling without turning the program into an academic survey.
WEEKS 4–6
Build the intuition required to reason about transformers and modern deep learning systems in interviews and real projects.
WEEKS 7–10
Ship reliable application-layer AI systems instead of stopping at prompt demos.
WEEKS 11–14
Learn the systems topics that separate production ML engineers from purely modeling-focused candidates.
WEEKS 15–16 + ONGOING
Position your background for the exact role you want and practice the full interview loop.
HANDS-ON WORK
Route requests across models and adapters with streaming, caching, fallbacks, metrics, and latency/cost controls.
Build ingestion, retrieval, reranking, agent workflows, evaluation, observability, and production deployment.
Design a production recommendation pipeline covering candidate generation, ranking, feature pipelines, serving, and experimentation.

FAQ
The core learning path is structured around 16 weeks of part-time study. Career preparation can continue alongside and after the technical curriculum depending on your plan.
Prior ML experience helps but is not required for every path. Strong programming or technical experience is the most useful starting point for this advanced program.
Common targets include Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, AI Software Engineer, ML Systems Engineer, ML Infrastructure Engineer, Inference Engineer, and production-focused LLM roles.
The program is designed for part-time online learning with live instruction, structured guidance, project reviews, and career preparation so working professionals can study alongside a full-time role.
Career support focuses on resume positioning, interview preparation, mock interviews, project deep dives, job targeting, and referral readiness.
