AI Integration Architect – AI Accelerator

RTX•East Hartford, CT

13d•Hybrid

About The Position

The AI Accelerator works across RTX to mature early-stage AI prototypes and deploy them as secure, scalable applications on the AI Factory, RTX’s common AI infrastructure. This role is responsible for building enterprise-ready AI solutions based on models and capabilities developed by research and development teams across RTX. Convert AI prototypes into production-grade applications, microservices, and pipelines deployable on the AI Factory, a constrained, regulated production environment. Design interfaces and integration patterns that allow independently developed AI capabilities, from varied domains and R&D teams, to plug into the AI Factory, avoiding significant rework per application. Own service architecture decisions that enable new AI capabilities to be onboarded, scaled, and retired with minimal rework. Partner with the AI Factory infrastructure team to influence platform and infrastructure evolution based on real application demands. Build and deploy cloud-based services on AWS and Azure following RTX best practices. Integrate AI/ML models (LLMs, analytics, perception, RAG pipelines) into enterprise applications. Implement CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and secure deployment workflows. Ensure compliance with RTX cybersecurity, infrastructure, and regulatory requirements. Contribute reusable components and patterns that strengthen the AI Factory platform.
