Job Summary

Description

This role owns the technical vision and execution for applying AI at scale across DevOps and productization workflows with a mandate to fundamentally improve how software and firmware are built tested released and operated. The position sits at the intersection of AI systems developer platforms and operational excellence driving the design and rollout of intelligent automated pipelines that move beyond static CI/CD toward predictive self-healing and data-driven execution. The focus is on replacing high-cost manual processes with scalable AI-powered mechanisms improving end-to-end quality and velocity and enabling reliable delivery across large multi-team engineering environments. Success in this role requires operating at platform and ecosystem scale setting architectural direction and ensuring AI-enabled systems are secure observable governable and resilient in long-lived production environments.

In This Role Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Lead the design and delivery of AI-enabled solutions for building test and release workflows of software products using approved enterprise technologies and enterprise-ready solution patterns.
Identify engineering workflows that can be fully or partially offloaded to AI systems reducing or eliminating repeated manual engineering effort.
Design and implement scalable AI-powered solutions in engineering workflows such as build and test triage failure analysis flaky test intelligence debugging assistance and release decision support.
Work hands-on with engineering teams to turn ideas into working solutions that can be rolled out in production.
Own key initiatives from concept and architecture through development rollout validation adoption and ongoing improvement.
Help define technical direction propose practical architecture improvements and influence how AI is introduced into critical engineering systems.
Develop tools supporting systems and infrastructure that improve engineering productivity and enable sustainable AI adoption.
Review technical designs and implementations provide strong feedback and mentor junior engineers.
Establish practical approaches for evaluation telemetry monitoring observability and continuous improvement of AI-enabled systems.
Design solutions that account for operational constraints such as rate limits retry behavior error handling and production supportability.
Collaborate with internal teams domain experts and junior talent to build solutions that can scale across the organization.
Ensure all automation and intelligence align with Emersons reliability safety and regulatory commitments
Act as a key technical leader shaping the long-term roadmap for AI driven DevOps transformation across T&M. Partner with engineering leaders architects and operational teams to drive adoption of intelligent automation and data driven decision-making.
Mentor teams on AI/ML fundamentals emerging practices and how to leverage automation to enhance product quality and operational performance.

Who You Are:

You are an application-focused AI engineering leader who enjoys solving real workflow and engineering problems.
You are comfortable operating as both an architect and a builder.
You can take an ambiguous problem create a practical solution approach and drive it through execution.
You understand what it takes to deploy systems at an organizational scale including rollout adoption governance observability and long-term maintainability.
You work well across teams influence technical direction and help raise the capability of the engineers around you.
You are self-driven pragmatic and able to make sound trade-offs in evolving situations.

For This Role You Will Need:

B.E / / / MCA in Computer Science / Electronics / Electrical / Instrumentation / Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning / related technical discipline.
8 years of proven experience in software engineering systems design AI application engineering or related technical roles. Minimum 3 years experience developing AI based applications.
Hands-on experience with retrieval-augmented generation architectures workflow automation evaluation methods platform integration agentic systems cost-aware AI design and operationalizing AI-enabled systems in production including monitoring observability feedback loops and lifecycle management.
Strong understanding of AI training fundamentals including how models are developed adapted evaluated and improved even if your primary industry experience has been in building and deploying AI-enabled applications rather than training foundation models directly.
Strong experience building AI-enabled applications or workflow solutions in enterprise environments.
Strong understanding of DevOps and modern software delivery systems including CI/CD pipelines build and release workflows automation observability and production operational considerations.
Proven experience designing deploying and operating systems or workflow solutions on an organizational scale including rollout across multiple teams or large engineering groups.
Strong problem-solving ability including diagnosing technical issues and proposing practical high-quality solutions.
Good understanding of enterprise constraints such as governance approved technologies security observability and production-readiness.
Ability to work effectively with engineering teams that have deep domain expertise but limited AI maturity.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

Experience applying AI to build systems test systems CI/CD workflows release engineering software delivery and engineering productivity workflows.
Experience with enterprise AI platforms internal developer platforms or similar shared engineering platforms used to operationalize AI solutions at scale.
Familiarity with Agile software development practices CI pipelines and workflow automation.
Understanding of NI software tools or related internal engineering ecosystems.
Exposure to fine-tuning model adaptation data preparation evaluation pipelines or other AI training-related workflows.
A strong track record of driving large ambiguous technical initiatives to successful completion.
Ability to work effectively in a diverse multi-cultural engineering environment and communicate well with both engineering teams and management.

Why This Role Is Important:

This role is intended to bring external AI expertise into the organization and apply it in practical high-value engineering workflows.
The focus is not on research alone but on delivering enterprise-ready AI systems that save developer time improve decision-making and create reusable internal capability.
This is a Principal-level individual contributor role for someone who can influence architecture build solutions hands-on and help scale AI adoption responsibly.
