QUALIFICATIONS

🌐 JD — AI Solution & Product Architect (Senior Level)

Cummins AI Lab – Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

About Cummins AI Lab

The Cummins AI Lab is redefining how AI solutions and products are designed for highly complex engineering and industrial environments. We merge domain expertise, advanced AI technology, and user-centered product thinking to build scalable, intuitive, high-impact AI tools.

We are seeking a Senior AI Solution & Product Architect to define AI product direction, architect end-to-end AI solutions, and shape the user experience of next-generation engineering and industrial AI tools.

Role Overview

This senior-level hybrid role combines AI solution architecture, product design, workflow definition, and user experience leadership .

It requires strong technical understanding of AI/LLM capabilities — this is not a traditional product manager position.

Your work will define how AI tools look, feel, and operate across Cummins’ global engineering, manufacturing, and service ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI Solution Architecture

• Translate raw business problems into structured AI workflows and solution blueprints.
• Architect LLM-based solutions incorporating retrieval, agents, domain knowledge, and enterprise systems.
• Define solution strategies for engineering design, diagnostics, service workflows, and industrial operations.

2. Product Design & User Experience Leadership

• Define product vision, capability roadmap, user journeys, and UX frameworks for AI-native tools.
• Collaborate with designers and engineers to build prototypes and functional products.
• Conduct user insights research with engineers, technicians, manufacturing operators, and service teams.

3. Cross-System Integration & Platform Alignment

• Define product and solution interfaces for seamless integration with AI platforms, data systems, and enterprise applications.
• Translate product needs into platform requirements (data flows, APIs, vector stores, LLMOps).

4. End-to-End Delivery Leadership

• Lead the full delivery cycle from requirements → solution design → PoC → production.
• Communicate product and solution decisions clearly to global stakeholders.
• Ensure scalability, usability, and measurable business impact.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, AI, HCI, or related fields; OR equivalent industry experience.
• Strong understanding of AI/LLM technologies and ability to architect AI-enabled solutions.
• Proven experience delivering AI-powered products into production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to design user journeys, product workflows, and functional UX.
• Experience with engineering/industrial tools and workflows (e.g., CAD/CAE/PLM) is a strong advantage.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Experience working with global, cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in cloud/AI companies, enterprise software, or AI product teams.
• Experience designing AI copilots, agent-driven workflows, or knowledge-based systems.
• Understanding of manufacturing, service diagnostics, or engineering R&D workflows.

What You Will Gain

• Ownership of next-generation AI product capabilities within Cummins.
• Opportunity to shape end-to-end AI workflows used globally across engineering and industrial operations.
• High autonomy and influence across teams and projects.
