2. Create and Maintain AI Design Practices

• Define Wind Engineerings AI solution design practices including design review processes architecture decision records and technical documentation standards.
• Establish standards for how AI solutions are scoped designed validated deployed and maintained across the Wind Engineering portfolio.
• Develop design principles that prioritize scalability reusability and engineering workflow integration from the earliest stages of solution design.
• Create and maintain AI architecture review checkpoints within the portfolio stage-gate process ensuring technical quality is evaluated at key maturity transitions.

3. Update Engineering Standard Work and Quality Management Systems with AI Advancements

• Identify opportunities to embed AI-forward practices into existing engineering standard work design processes and quality management system (QMS) documentation.
• Lead the integration of AI-assisted workflows into Wind Engineering standard processes including AI-assisted FMEA updates design review workflows and validation procedures.
• Ensure that AI tools and capabilities introduced into engineering workflows are supported by updated standard work documentation training materials and process guidance.
• Work with engineering leaders and quality teams to define how AI-generated outputs are reviewed validated and incorporated into engineering records and decision-making.
• Establish the technical baseline for how AI contributes to engineering quality.

4. Partner with Digital and IT on Platforms MLOps and Integration Standards

• Serve as the primary technical liaison between Wind Engineering AI programs and Digital/IT ARC Foundry and enterprise platform teams.
• Define MLOps and LLMOps requirements for Wind Engineering including model training pipelines deployment automation performance monitoring drift detection and retraining governance.
• Evaluate platform options integration approaches and tooling choices that enable scalable maintainable AI deployment across Wind Engineering engineering environments.
• Ensure AI solutions built on enterprise platforms (AMP AWS Azure GE Vernova digital infrastructure) leverage approved integration patterns and do not create technical debt or unsupported dependencies.

5. Review and Guide Subsystem AI Designs for Scalability and Reuse

• Conduct architecture reviews for AI solutions being developed within subsystems and functions evaluating alignment to enterprise standards scalability security maintainability and reuse potential.
• Identify opportunities where solutions designed for one subsystem could be abstracted and reused across multiple Wind Engineering domains and drive that reuse proactively.
• Provide technical guidance to Embedded AI Architects at critical design integration and deployment decision points.
• Maintain visibility of the full Wind Engineering AI solution portfolio from a technical architecture perspective identifying patterns gaps redundancies and cross-subsystem dependencies.
• Ensure solutions are not built in architectural isolation and that local technical decisions do not foreclose enterprise-scale reuse or create integration complexity.

• Provide consistent technical mentorship coaching and development support to the Embedded AI Architect community across Wind Engineering subsystems.
• Define technical competency expectations for Embedded AI Architects and create structured development pathways aligned to those expectations.
• Facilitate regular technical forums design reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions across the Embedded AI Architect community to accelerate cross-pollination of ideas and proven approaches.
• Support Embedded AI Architects in navigating complex technical decisions vendor evaluations and architecture tradeoffs within their subsystems.
• Ensure Embedded AI Architects have access to the reference materials tools standards and mentorship needed to deliver high-quality AI solutions within their domain.

7. Serve as Technical Escalation Point for Complex or High-Risk AI Initiatives

• Act as the senior technical authority for AI solutions that are high-risk architecturally novel cross-subsystem in scope or under consideration for enterprise-scale deployment.
• Provide technical input to governance reviews build vs. buy vs. ARC Foundry decisions and vendor evaluations for AI platforms and tools.
• Support the AI Governance Leader in assessing the technical dimensions of model risk data integrity cybersecurity posture and auditability for AI solutions under governance review.
• Evaluate the technical feasibility scalability and sustainability of proposed AI approaches at early stages to prevent costly architectural missteps.
• Maintain technical leadership credibility through direct engagement with complex AI engineering problems across Wind Engineering.
