TE Connectivity Ltd. is a global technology and manufacturing leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. Our connectivity and sensor solutions support transportation, industrial applications, medical technology, energy, data communications, and the home. Every connection counts.
BU / Function Description
The AI Transformation Center works as a strategic advisory and technology partner for Transportation Solutions and Sensors. The team partners with business functions shape digitalization, build AI-enabled solutions, and industrialize data foundations that make AI outcomes reliable, scalable, and secure.
The operating model is built around three pillars: consulting and AI advisory, AI solutioning and technology delivery, and project management with security and operational discipline.
Role Objective
Own the end-to-end lifecycle of AI data products on AWS and Databricks. Transform existing dashboards and ad-hoc datasets into governed, reusable, production-grade data products trusted for AI training, evaluation, inference, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
The role guides TE Sensors from a dashboard-oriented data culture toward an AI-first operating model where data products are managed as enterprise assets, not one-off project outputs.
Core Responsibilities
AI Data Product Strategy and Ownership
- Own the AI data product roadmap; translate business priorities into a sequenced backlog of reusable data products with clear owners, service levels, and lifecycle controls.
- Partner with dashboard, analytics, and AI delivery teams to identify reporting assets that should evolve into governed AI-ready data products.
Data Product Operating Model and Governance
- Establish product charters defining purpose, consumers, source ownership, data contracts (schema, semantics, freshness, quality expectations, change notification), access models, and retention rules.
- Implement table-, column-, and row-level access standards, classification, audit trails, and handling rules via Databricks Unity Catalog and AWS controls.
AI Data Ingestion, Curation, and Productization
- Lead design and operation of incremental, observable, cost-aware ingestion and curation pipelines from enterprise sources into AWS and Databricks.
- Create versioned, reproducible training sets, evaluation sets, inference inputs, feature tables, and monitoring datasets with discoverable documentation and metadata.
Data Quality Engineering and AI Readiness Gates
- Define AI-specific quality dimensions (completeness, consistency, timeliness, uniqueness, referential integrity, distribution stability, drift sensitivity) with automated checks.
- Enforce hard gates that block training, deployment, or production promotion when critical quality checks fail.
Production Operations, Support, and Continuous Improvement
- Provide runbooks for recovery, backfills, reprocessing, incidents, and escalation. Participate in operational reviews and drive root-cause corrective actions.
- Optimize storage, compute, partitioning, scheduling, and cost transparency across the platform.
Decision Rights
- Approve data readiness gates before model training, evaluation, deployment, or material changes to production inference inputs.
- Escalate data ownership, quality, access, or cost issues that block business outcomes or introduce operational risk.
Qualifications and Experience
- Education: Bachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or related field.
- Experience: 8+ years in data engineering, data management, AI data foundations, or adjacent technology leadership with proven ownership of data products or critical pipelines delivering measurable business impact.
- Technical: Hands-on with AWS, Databricks, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, data lineage, observability, and production support. Experience defining data contracts, quality gates, service levels, and access models.
- Stakeholder management: Track record working across business leaders, product owners, data/AI engineers, security, and platform teams.
- Preferred certifications: Databricks Data Engineer/ML Professional; AWS Data Analytics or Solutions Architect; data governance or agile delivery certifications are a plus.
- Ability to operate at senior level, challenge incomplete requirements, make trade-offs transparent, and drive decisions when ownership is unclear.
