About The Position

End-to-End AI Product Delivery: Lead the project management lifecycle for AI/ML applications, from initial concept and requirement gathering to deployment and global scaling within the Digitalization and Transformation department. Domain-Driven AI Development: Apply deep subject matter expertise in Requirements Engineering, MBSE, and FMA to guide the development of AI tools, ensuring they adhere to industry standards (e.g., EARS, INCOSE, SAE J1739). Lead Intelligent Search & Retrieval Projects: Deliver AI solutions that provide instant access to critical data, regulatory information, and program live-data, integrating guides for enterprise tools like FEDE and 3DX to improve engineering efficiency. Drive NLP & Requirements Refinement Tools: Manage the development of AI-driven "refactoring" tools that use Natural Language Processing to ensure engineering requirements are compliant, concise, and seamlessly integrated with tools like FEDE WB, Jama, and MagicDraw. Automate FMA Workflows: Lead the delivery of generative AI tools designed to automate Failure Mode Avoidance, transforming boundary diagrams into SysML models or optimized DFMEAs to reduce manual effort and ensure consistency. Agile Product Leadership: Work with IT matched-pair product teams and data scientists to specify AI tool functionalities, prioritize the product backlog, and manage delivery within an Agile framework. D&R Integration & Deployment: Ensure AI tools are practical for the Design and Release (D&R) engineering community, managing the rollout and implementation of these tools into active vehicle programs. Change Management & Training: Develop tool documentation and lead training sessions to help functional engineering teams transition from manual processes to AI-augmented workflows.
