• Partner with engineering teams to identify opportunities where AI can improve workflow, efficiency, and decision making
• Support development of the AI roadmap by proposing use cases with clear business value, KPIs, and implementation plans, and lead execution of the approved roadmap
• Design, build, and deploy approved AI-enabled tools and automations that integrate with existing engineering systems
• Contribute technical expertise to the engineering data strategy and carry out improvements to the quality, structure, and reliability of engineering data (test results, design records, specifications) so it can be used effectively by AI and analytics tools
• Apply AI and machine learning to accelerate simulation, reliability analysis, test data review, and design validation
• Leverage AI to streamline project management, documentation, reporting, and knowledge sharing across engineering
• Support sustaining engineering with AI-assisted root cause analysis, change management, and continuous improvement
• Evaluate and pilot AI platforms and tools and recommend options for approval, working with IT to support data security, governance, compliance, and responsible-use processes
• Recommend AI best practices, implement approved standards, and train and coach engineers on AI tools to drive adoption
• Lead delivery and adoption of approved AI initiatives, and measure and communicate their impact on system quality, engineering productivity, and speed to market for new products

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or similar discipline

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow and contribute. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, performance-based incentives, flexible work arrangements, and development opportunities. Our humble roots date back to 1927, where, in the back of a garage on Chicago's northside, our founder, Edward Sundt, developed a small, fast-acting, protective fuse for use in sensitive test meters. Sundt wanted to call his new company producing these small fuses, "Little Fuse," but wasn't allowed to trademark two such common words. So, instead he went with the one-word, misspelled "Littelfuse." For more than 95 years, Littelfuse has pioneered innovative products that help empower a sustainable, connected, and safer world. With the ever-evolving electrification and electronification of customer applications, our product technologies are closely linked to sustainable applications such as electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure, renewable energy and energy storage, factory automation, power management and more. Throughout our history, our people have been the foundation of our success - and that remains true today. Now more than ever, our bright and talented people are an important part of a diverse, talented team of the best and brightest in the industry. From the production line to the engineering lab, the office or distribution center, Littelfuse people are an important part of a diverse, talented team of the best and brightest in the industry. While Littelfuse has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, we still maintain a small-company, entrepreneurial approach where your efforts will drive our culture, our business, and the overall success of the organization. No matter where you work or what you do, your contributions will make a difference at Littelfuse - everywhere, every day.
