1. The Context / Purpose of the Job: It is seeking an AI Engineer to lead our advancement toward Industry 5.0 by developing and implementing a comprehensive AI strategy focused on creating innovative operating models that seamlessly integrate human and machine intelligence. This key role is centered on writing code, analyzing data, and building robust ML and AI pipelines to drive significant improvements in business performance.

The candidate should be proficient in Python, data science, ML (Time series, optimisation, classification & regression problems), and deep learning modules (CNN, RNN, LSTM), as well as cutting-edge Generative AI concepts like Agentic Design, RAG, prompt-to-template strategies, and chunking strategies.

This position requires expertise in decentralized architectures, proficiency with SQL, NoSQL, and PostgreSQL databases, and the ability to deploy solutions across multi-cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure), leveraging serverless technologies like Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Lambda, alongside Kubernetes for container orchestration.

Key Objective / Overall Job Responsibility (Main Purpose):

- Strategic AI Vision & Leadership: Develop and champion a clear AI vision by conceptualizing autonomous business models that leverage Generative AI, including Agentic Design and RAG architectures, to redefine the TSL value chain. Collaborate with stakeholders to define solution objectives, deliverables, and timelines.

Hands-On AI Implementation & Deployment: Lead the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of AI solutions using Python and its data science ecosystem. Architect and build robust ML/AI pipelines and deploy them on multi-cloud serverless platforms (GCP Cloud Run, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) and Kubernetes (GKE).

- Advanced Model Development & Innovation: Direct the AI learning trajectory by applying Deep Learning models (CNN, RNN, LSTM) and advanced Generative AI techniques, including innovative chunking strategies and prompt-to-template frameworks, to solve complex business challenges.

- Technical Leadership & Data Architecture: Provide technical guidance to internal and external partners to build scalable AI solutions on decentralized architectures. Ensure seamless implementation and data integrity through proficient use of SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases.

- Program & Change Management: Spearhead the end-to-end transformation process, from model conception to production deployment, while managing change to ensure successful business adoption. Effectively multitask across multiple AI projects, prioritizing technical resources to meet competing deadlines.

- Communication & Stakeholder Engagement: Effectively translate and communicate complex model performance metrics, data-driven insights, and strategic project direction to diverse audiences, including senior management, business users, and external partners, to ensure alignment and buy-in.

Relevant Experience:

- Experience of working in high performance teams delivering AI solutions

- Experience of working in cross-functional & collaborative environment

Good understanding of mining / manufacturing / supply chain / commercial processes along with knowledge of technology applications in these domains, would be preferred
