Zusammenfassung

Bausch + Lomb seeks a Head of Forward Deployed Engineer to turn AI pilots into production capability across manufacturing, supply chain, quality, procurement, engineering, and logistics. This hands-on leader builds production-ready AI solutions and ensures adoption in real operating environments.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 10+ years in software engineering, solution implementation, digital transformation, with a strong record of shipping production code.
• Proficiency in Python and modern API and integration development, with experience building on cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
• Hands-on experience with generative AI, agents, ML, and workflow automation in production.
• Demonstrated experience deploying enterprise technology directly with business users, including driving adoption.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate between plant floor and engineering language.

Aufgaben

• Design, code, and deploy AI-enabled solutions (generative AI, agents, ML, workflow automation) that run reliably.
• Integrate with enterprise systems such as SAP and plant, quality, and supply chain platforms through APIs and data pipelines.
• Own the path from prototype to production: testing, user acceptance, security and compliance review, release, monitoring, and post-deployment support.
• Apply validation and documentation practices appropriate to a regulated environment.
• Work side by side with plant leaders, planners, buyers, and quality teams to understand how work actually gets done.
• Run workflow assessments, identify high-value use cases, and redesign processes around AI rather than layering tools on top of legacy steps.
• Resolve technical and operational issues quickly in the field.
• Coach and mentor FDEs, setting standards for code quality, deployment, and documentation.
• Partner with AI Delivery, Data, and IT on architecture, data access, security, and platform standards.
