As an AI Architect at a leading aerospace OEM, you will lead the technical direction of AI-enabled engineering capabilities across various business units, focusing on propulsion and turbomachinery challenges. Your daily tasks include setting reference architectures, validating proof-of-concept builds, and coaching engineers to ensure compliance with aerospace constraints. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, developing roadmaps for AI integration into existing simulation and analysis toolchains while ensuring solutions are compliant with ITAR and export control regulations. Essential skills include expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes, and hands-on experience with LLMs and vector databases. Deep knowledge of aerodynamics, combustion, heat transfer, and materials science is crucial for addressing complex engineering problems effectively.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical discussions on AI architectural direction across multiple teams.
  • Develop a roadmap and implementation plan for AI-enabled engineering capabilities.
  • Review and develop architecture for data pipelines and model deployment.
  • Ensure AI solutions comply with aerospace constraints and export control regulations.
  • Conduct proof of concept builds to validate architectural assumptions and feasibility.
  • Mentor and coach embedded AI Engineers, removing technical blockers for delivery.
  • Lead the research on emerging AI technologies and trends to inform development.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in production AI/ML systems and enterprise architecture.
  • Leadership experience in managing technical teams and delivering projects under aerospace constraints.
  • Expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale data engineering, governance, and model deployment.
  • Deep understanding of aero engine physics, turbomachinery, and related simulation tools.
  • Ability to navigate ITAR/Export Control regulations and ensure compliance in AI solutions.
  • Proven track record in developing and mentoring technical teams, fostering a continuous learning culture.
