AI & Automation Engineer

What You'll Do

• Work with the leaders of Business Applications, Data & Analytics, and IT to identify high-volume, repetitive, and manual processes that are strong candidates for automation or AI enablement.

• Document current-state workflows, including inputs, decision points, exceptions, systems involved, effort consumed, and risks.

• Assess each opportunity for feasibility, complexity, expected benefit, and risk, and recommend whether to proceed, defer, or solve through process change instead of automation.

• Recommend the appropriate approach for each use case, including workflow automation, integration, AI-enabled reasoning, or a combination, based on complexity, maintainability, security, and supportability.

• Design, develop, configure, and integrate automation solutions across enterprise platforms, workflow automation tools, APIs, and AI services.

• Develop and execute test plans covering functional accuracy, exception handling, failure modes, and edge cases prior to deployment.

• Deploy solutions into production following established change management, approval, and release practices and validate against the intended outcome before transitioning to the process owner(s).

• Produce complete handoff documentation, including process maps, solution design, configuration details, dependencies, failure modes, troubleshooting steps, and support requirements.

• Deliver knowledge transfer and training to the owning team so they can operate, support, monitor, and maintain the solution independently.

• Report progress, results, and benefits to the VP, Business Systems and the three team leaders.

• Stay current on AI and automation capabilities and recommend where new tools or approaches could be applied.

• Other duties as required.
