AI Lead Engineer establishing AI Center of Competence at Hitachi Energy. Focusing on AI solutions development and engineering productivity improvements in multiple disciplines.
Responsibilities
Establish the AI Center of Competence from the ground up
Define the mission, operating model, governance framework, and technical standards for responsible AI adoption.
Build trusted partnerships with IT, cybersecurity, legal, and engineering leadership to ensure scalable, secure, and compliant AI deployment across disciplines.
Deliver measurable engineering productivity gains within the first year
Identify and execute 2–3 high impact AI pilots (e.g., engineering documentation automation, design knowledge retrieval, controls/code assistance) that demonstrably reduce engineering cycle time, improve quality, and free up expert capacity.
Translate engineering pain points into deployable AI solutions
Work hands-on with civil, mechanical, electrical, controls, and software teams to deeply understand workflows, tools (PLM, CAD, ERP, document systems), and constraints, turning real world challenges into practical, high value AI applications.
Build AI-ready data foundations for long term scale
Enable structured, governed, and discoverable engineering data by advancing data ownership, metadata standards, lineage tracking, and access control, laying the groundwork for advanced capabilities such as knowledge graphs and intelligent agents.
Bridge strategy and execution in industrial AI adoption
Act as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership, clearly articulating AI opportunities, risks, and ROI while personally leading prototyping, experimentation, and early deployment in enterprise environments.
Shape the future of intelligent engineering at scale
Define the roadmap beyond initial pilots, including AI assisted design reviews, engineering copilots, and cross disciplinary knowledge systems.
Requirements
