About The Position

The AI Solutions Engineer is an experienced, hands-on technology professional responsible for designing, building, and deploying intelligent solutions across the enterprise. Working directly with business and technology leaders, this role identifies high-value opportunities, translates operational needs into technical solutions, and moves AI capabilities from concept into secure, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective production use.

This opportunity spans the organization and may include agent-assisted RFQ and proposal development, engineering knowledge retrieval, manufacturing and supply-chain decision support, service and aftermarket workflows, finance automation, and employee productivity. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing software, integrating enterprise data and systems, and partnering with stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes. Reporting to the Vice President, Information Systems, this position is based in Komline's Washington, DC office and requires approximately 25% travel, primarily to Komline operating locations.
