We are seeking a Lead AI Engineer to drive the integration of AI-based features into measurement products. In this role, you will own the architecture of these features and ship them against an established AI/data platform, rather than building the platform itself. Your work will span natural-language query, summarization, intelligent validation and exception handling and workflow assistance, integrating with a model gateway, prompt registry, retrieval services and vector stores. Since outputs feed regulated measurement workflows, evaluation, auditability and human-in-the-loop patterns are central to the job, and you will be accountable for the work of a small engineering team. Responsibilities Own the architecture of AI features and ship them, including natural-language query, summarization, intelligent validation and exception handling, and workflow assistance Establish and evangelize reusable AI feature patterns for retrieval, evaluation and guardrails so teams do not reinvent them
