Develop prototypes, pilots, proofs of value, and early production implementations with the AI & Automation Solution Architect, ensuring solutions are usable, secure, scalable, supportable, and aligned with approved designs.
Build lighthouse solutions and working examples that demonstrate practical AI and automation use cases and can be showcased, reused, replicated, or extended across the enterprise.
Validate feasibility, user experience, integration needs, data dependencies, platform fit, risks, and production readiness through rapid experimentation, documentation, and lessons learned.
Develop reusable automation patterns, workflow templates, prompt examples, connectors, scripts, configuration guides, sample solutions, and technical accelerators.
Contribute to CoE playbooks, implementation guides, checklists, readiness materials, and asset libraries that help teams build faster, reduce duplication, and improve enterprise consistency.
Partner with business teams, process improvement teams, and product owners to define use case goals, workflow impacts, user needs, success criteria, requirements, technical gaps, and practical implementation plans.
Support implementation from intake through design, build, testing, deployment readiness, adoption, measurement, scale, and production handoff.
Partner with the AI & Automation Solution Architect to convert approved patterns into working implementations, validate design assumptions, and provide feedback on complexity, platform limitations, reusable components, security, scalability, and supportability.
Contribute to design documentation, technical standards, configuration guidance, implementation playbooks, and repeatable delivery practices.
Build solutions aligned with enterprise architecture, responsible AI expectations, information security, data protection, governance, approved tools, and review requirements.
