• Improve model performance, latency, cost efficiency, reliability, and explainability in production environments.
• Develop reusable infrastructure, tooling, libraries, and patterns that accelerate team delivery.
• Monitor deployed models for performance degradation, bias, drift, and operational issues; recommend and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to communicate technical trade-offs, risks, timelines, and recommendations clearly.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to technical standards, best practices, and architecture decisions.
• Stay current with advances in practices.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Lead the development and deployment of enterprise AI applications from concept through production.
• Build generative AI, agent, copilot, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions for commercial use cases, such as lead triage and routing, account insights, and competitor and peer performance intelligence.
• Build AI solutions for core functions, such as engineering design and FMEA support, quality diagnostics and root-cause analysis, supply chain planning, and procurement contract intelligence.
• Put data science models (e.g., forecasting, scoring, anomaly detection, computer vision) into production as reliable services and APIs.
• Integrate AI with enterprise systems such as Salesforce, ERP, PLM, MES, and quality systems so insights show up where people already work.
