  • Strong understanding of modern AI/ML development workflows, including data pipelines, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
  • Experience applying AI/ML to complex technical domains such as engineering, simulation, scientific computing, and advanced product development
  • Proven ability to communicate technical strategy and recommendations effectively to executive leadership
  • Track record of leading technically significant initiatives through influence, expertise, and cross-functional collaboration
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with near-term execution and delivery
  • US Citizenship required

Nice to have

  • Experience applying AI/ML in automotive, mobility, industrial, defense, or other advanced engineering environments
  • Expertise in physics-based AI, scientific machine learning, digital engineering, or hybrid modeling approaches
  • Demonstrated success shaping technical roadmaps or AI strategy for large organizations
  • Background working directly with senior executives to define direction, prioritize investments, and communicate outcomes
