• Identify recurring engineering problems and translate them into repeatable, AI-enabled solutions.
• Integrate AI tools and agents into existing engineering workflows rather than creating parallel processes.
• Partner with engineering teams to pilot AI solutions and refine them based on real usage and feedback.
• Develop and document best practices for responsible AI usage within engineering.
• Work with IT and Security teams to ensure AI tools and agents comply with Brooks data security, IP protection, and governance requirements.
• Support training and enablement for engineers adopting AI tools and workflows.
• Define and track before- and-after productivity metrics to quantify the impact of AI adoption on engineering outcomes.
• Provide regular feedback to engineering leadership on AI effectiveness, limitations, and opportunities for expansion.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

• Bachelor’s Degree in an Engineering related discipline.
• In depth knowledge of modern AI tools and their application to technical and engineering tasks.
• Experience improving engineering tools, processes, or development efficiency.
• Strong understanding of engineering workflows and deliverables.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work across engineering disciplines.
• Experience developing automation, scripts, internal tools, or AI‑enabled agents to support engineering workflows is a plus.
• Familiarity with engineering systems such as CAD/ECAD tools, software development environments, FEA/Simulation and PLM systems is a plus.
• Experience supporting engineering productivity or digital transformation initiatives is a plus.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast‑moving, evolving technical environment is a plus.
