Evaluate emerging AI technologies with a clear focus on practical applicability and deployability
Investigate, develop, fine-tune, evaluate, and benchmark AI/ML models
Design, build, and iterate on working prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and pilots
Assess AI approaches for scalability, reliability, cost, security, and operational feasibility
Make and document AI investigation and architectural decisions related to model deployment and integration
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure AI proofs-of-concept, prototypes, and pilots can transition to later stage development and/or downstream products
Clearly document findings and present actionable recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Mentor and coach junior team members

Exceptional communication and presentation skills; can articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership
Experienceindustrial, IoT, manufacturing, energy, or asset-intensive domains
Ability to connect AI capabilities to practical industrial or enterprise use cases
*Desired skills and competencies *
Exposure to AI governance, security, or compliance considerations
Experience deploying ML models in cloud environments (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable)
Familiarity with MLOps practices (model versioning, evaluation, monitoring, iteration)
Experience working with non-ideal, real-world data rather than curated research datasets
Experience working in both enterprise and start up environments
Interesting in supportingtechnical and scientific publications on AI research
*What success looks like *
AI concepts progress beyond research into validated, working prototypes and pilots
Technical investigations result in clear go / no-go recommendations
Prototypes and pilots demonstrate feasibility for real-world deployment, not just benchmark performance
Strong collaboration with cross-functional technical and non-technical teams to enable transition into later stage development, where appropriate
Ability to meaningfully influence AI roadmaps and technology direction through evidence-backed work
