Description

  • Define the AI strategy for engineering development workflows and embedded agent use across the engineering lifecycle.

  • Design end-to-end multi-agent infrastructure, including orchestration layers, vector databases for long-term memory, and tool-use capabilities.

  • Ability to connect technical execution to business value and present ROI cases to executive leadership.
  • Strong security and compliance mindset focused on data privacy and preventing model hallucinations in mission-critical engineering tasks.
  • Experience designing safe-by-design systems.
  • Experience with agentic design patterns and production AI infrastructure (preferred).

Benefits

  • $227,500 - $280,000 annual base salary.
