• Understand that the value of AI comes not only from the technology itself, but from changing how and where work happens.
• Be able to balance experimentation with pragmatism, using evidence to guide decisions and focusing on value over novelty.
• Be comfortable working with imperfect or evolving data and helping improve data quality and governance as a foundation for scale.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and work collaboratively across functions.

Desired Characteristics

• A curious, pragmatic, and action-driven approach, with the confidence to work through ambiguity and the discipline to turn ideas into measurable outcomes.
• Experience in project-based, engineering, manufacturing, industrial, or operational environments.
• Exposure to cost, margin, productivity, or performance data.
• Familiarity with cloud AI or machine learning platforms such as Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, or similar.
• Understanding of data governance, responsible AI principles, and scalable delivery practices.
