Summary: We are seeking a C-suite - facing Industrial AI & Agentic Systems Lead to architect, govern, and scale AI solutions - including AI, multi-agent, LLM-driven, tool-using autonomous systems - across manufacturing, supply chain, and plant operations. You will define the strategy-to-scale journey from high-value use case selection (OEE, yield, PdM, energy, scheduling, autonomous quality) to edge - cloud architectures, MLOps/LLMOps, Responsible & Safe AI /Agentic AI, and IT/OT convergence, delivering hard business outcomes. Roles & Responsibilities: 1.Strategy & C-Suite Advisory: -Define an Industrial AI + Agentic AI strategy & roadmap tied to OEE, yield, cost, throughput, energy, and sustainability KPI - with ROI/payback models. -Shape operating models (central CoE vs. federated), governance, funding, and product-platform scaling approaches. -Educate CxO stakeholders on where Agentic AI adds leverage (closed-loop optimization, autonomous workflows, human-in-the-loop decisioning). 2.Architecture & Platforms: - Design edge- plant - cloud reference architectures for ML + Agentic AI: data ingestion (OPC UA, MQTT, Kafka), vector DB/RAG layers, model registries, policy engines, observability, and safe tool execution - Define LLMOps patterns for prompt/version management, agent planning/execution traces, tool catalogs, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses. 3.Agentic AI (Dedicated): - Architect multi-agent systems (planner- solver - critic patterns) for: SOP generation & validation, root-cause analysis & corrective action recommendation, autonomous scheduling & rescheduling, MRO/work order intelligence, control room copilots orchestrating OT/IT tools. - Design tooling & action interfaces (function calling / tools registry) to safely let agents interact with MES/ERP/CMMS/SCADA/DCS, simulations (DES, digital twins), and optimization solvers (cuOpt, Gurobi, CP-SAT). - Establish policy, safety, and constraints frameworks (role-based agent scopes, allow/deny tool lists, human-in-the-loop gates, audit trails). -Implement RAG + knowledge graph + vector DB stacks for engineering/service manuals, logs, SOPs, and quality records to power grounded agent reasoning. -Set up evaluation & red-teaming for agent behaviors: hallucination tests, unsafe action prevention, KPI-driven performance scoring. 4.Use Cases & Solutions (Manufacturing Focus): - Computer Vision / Autonomous Quality (TAO, Triton, TensorRT) with agentic triage & escalation to quality engineers. - Predictive/Prescriptive Maintenance with agents orchestrating data retrieval, work order creation, spare part planning. - Process & Yield Optimization where agents run DOE, query historians, simulate scenarios (digital twins), recommend set-point changes. - Scheduling / Throughput Optimization with planner - optimizer agents calling OR/RL solvers. - GenAI/LLM for Manufacturing: copilots & autonomous agents for SOPs, RCA documentation, PLC/SCADA code refactoring (with strict guardrails). 5.MLOps, LLMOps, Edge AI & Runtime Ops: - Stand up MLOps + LLMOps: CI/CD for models & prompts, drift detection, lineage, experiment & agent run tracking, safe rollback. - Architect Edge AI on NVIDIA Jetson/IGX, x86 GPU, Intel iGPU/OpenVINO, ensuring deterministic latency, TSN/real-time where needed. - Implement observability for agents (traces, actions, rewards/scores, SLA adherence). 6.Responsible / Safe AI, Compliance & Security: - Codify Responsible AI and Agentic Safety policies: transparency, explainability (XAI), auditability, IP protection, privacy, toxicity & jailbreak prevention. - Align with regulations (e.g., GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 27001, IEC 62443, ISO 26262, AS9100) for industrial domains. 7.Delivery, GTM & Thought Leadership: - Serve as chief architect / design authority on large AI + Agentic programs; mentor architects, data scientists/engineers, and MLOps/LLMOps teams. - Lead pre-sales, solution shaping, executive storytelling, and ecosystem partnership building (NVIDIA, hyperscalers, MES/SCADA, optimization, cybersecurity). Professional & Technical Skills: Must have Skills: - Proven AI at scale delivery record in manufacturing with quantified value and hands-on leadership of LLM/Agentic AI initiatives. - Deep understanding of shop-floor tech (MES/MOM, SCADA/DCS, historians - PI/AVEVA, PLC/RTUs), protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, Kafka). - Expertise in ML & CV stacks (PyTorch/TensorFlow, Triton, TensorRT, TAO Toolkit) and LLM/Agentic stacks (function calling, RAG, vector DBs, prompt/agent orchestration). - MLOps & LLMOps (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker/Vertex, Databricks, Feast, LangSmith/Evaluation frameworks, guardrails). - Edge AI deployment on NVIDIA/Intel/x86 GPUs, with K8s/K3s, Docker, Triton Inference Server. - Strong security & governance for IT/OT and AI/LLM (IEC 62443, Zero Trust, data residency, key/token vaults, prompt security). - Executive communication: convert complex AI+Agentic architectures into board-level impact narratives Good to have skills: - Agentic frameworks: LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, Guardrails, LMQL. - Optimization & RL: cuOpt, Gurobi, OR-Tools, RLlib, Stable Baselines. - Digital Twins & Simulation: NVIDIA Omniverse/Isaac/Modulus, AnyLogic, AspenTech, Siemens. - Knowledge graphs & semantics: Neo4j, RDF/OWL, SPARQL, ontologies for manufacturing. - Standards & frameworks: ISA-95, RAMI 4.0, MIMOSA, ISO 8000, DAMA-DMBOK. - Experience in regulated sectors (Pharma/MedTech, Aero/Defense, Automotive). - AI/ML/LLM: PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, Triton, TensorRT, TAO Toolkit, RAPIDS,LangChain/LangGraph, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, Guardrails, OpenVINO. - MLOps/LLMOps/DataOps: MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, Databricks, Feast, Airflow/Prefect, Great Expectations, LangSmith, PromptLayer. - Edge/OT: NVIDIA Jetson/IGX, K3s/K8s, Docker, OPC UA, MQTT, Ignition, PI/AVEVA, ThingWorx. - Data/Streaming/RAG: Kafka, Flink/Spark, Delta/Iceberg/Hudi, Snowflake/BigQuery/Synapse - Vector DBs (Milvus, FAISS, Qdrant, Weaviate), KG (Neo4j). - Cloud : AWS/Azure/GCP(at least one at expert level), Kubernetes, Security (CISSP/IEC 62443) a plus. - Lean/Six Sigma/TPM nice to have credibility with operations. - Leadership & Behavioral Competencies: C-suite advisor & storyteller with outcome-first mindset. - Architectural authority balancing speed, safety, and scale. - People build across DS/ML, DE, MLOps/LLMOps, and OT. - Change leader who can operationalize AI & agents on real shop floors.
