- Strong knowledge of modern AI technologies and concepts, including machine learning, LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, semantic layers, and orchestration frameworks.

- Understanding of responsible AI principles, data protection, cybersecurity, model governance, and regulatory compliance requirements.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex business challenges into practical and scalable technical solutions.

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leadership.

- Ability to manage multiple initiatives, exercise sound technical judgment, and balance innovation with security, scalability, and operational reliability.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Previous experience in manufacturing, industrial, or other operational technology environments, particularly involving IT/OT integrations.

- Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, or comparable enterprise AI platforms.

- Experience working with Azure cloud services, modern AI/ML frameworks, and Python-based development environments.

- Knowledge of data lakes, real-time streaming architectures, and large-scale telemetry data processing.

- Experience implementing RAG architectures, vector databases, semantic search, and AI orchestration frameworks.

- Familiarity with identity and access management, authentication mechanisms, and role-based access control (RBAC).

- Understanding of NIST or comparable cybersecurity, governance, and compliance frameworks.

Benefits:

- Competitive compensation: Salary and compensation details are not specified in the available job description.

- Remote flexibility: Fully remote working arrangement within the United States.

- Full-time opportunity: Permanent full-time position with the opportunity to contribute to strategic enterprise AI initiatives.

- Professional development: Opportunities to expand technical expertise and work with advanced AI, machine learning, cloud, and data engineering technologies.

- Global exposure: Opportunity to collaborate with international teams and contribute to technology initiatives supporting a global industrial business.

- Innovation-driven environment: Work on impactful projects involving enterprise AI adoption, intelligent automation, and manufacturing optimization.
