Job description

Intelligence Center X is Siemens' platform for the agentic enterprise

The next wave of enterprise software isn't about writing more code — it's about giving organizations the tools to combine trusted data, AI, and applications into systems that can reason and act on their own. Intelligence Center X delivers that today, through five capabilities — an Enterprise Knowledge Graph, AI/ML, agentic application development, orchestration, and governance — that together move enterprises from static software to intelligent, autonomous systems.

For the customers we serve, that shift shows up in very concrete ways: engineers and data leaders who can finally find and trust the data buried across decades of enterprise systems; teams that go from idea to working application in days instead of quarters; and AI initiatives that move out of pilot purgatory and into production because the underlying data and governance can actually support them. Whether you're building this platform, proving its value to customers, or bringing it to market through our partner ecosystem, your work directly drives those outcomes for some of the most complex organizations in the world.

This is one of the most ambitious enterprise AI platforms in the market — built on decades of deep domain expertise across industries as varied as manufacturing, banking, insurance, financial services, and healthcare, and already running in production at real scale for organizations with some of the most demanding data and compliance requirements in the world. If you want to work at the intersection of enterprise AI, knowledge graphs, and agentic applications — with real customers and real production stakes, across nearly every major industry — this is where that work is happening.

Principal Solution Architect - Graph

Position Summary

As a Principal Solution Architect and Technical Lead, you serve as the senior technical advisor responsible for guiding enterprise customers through the successful implementation, adoption, and optimization of Intelligence Center X, an agentic AI platform. Partnering closely with customer executives, program stakeholders, and business audiences, you lead the delivery of transformative AI-powered solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

In this role, you oversee solution architecture and implementation across complex enterprise engagements. You translate business objectives into scalable, secure, and integrated solutions leveraging Intelligence Center X, AI Studio, Mendix, Graph, and enterprise knowledge graph technologies while ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture standards, operational requirements, and organizational change initiatives.

The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in graph databases, knowledge graph architectures, semantic data modeling, enterprise integration, and agentic AI. You will help customers build intelligent enterprises by connecting people, processes, products, systems, and data through graph-powered enterprise intelligence and AI-driven automation.

You provide leadership throughout the delivery lifecycle, including discovery, solution design, implementation oversight, adoption planning, and value realization. Acting as a trusted advisor to customer leadership, you help organizations modernize operations through agentic workflows, enterprise intelligence, digital thread initiatives, and AI-powered automation.

Success is measured by customer outcomes, platform adoption, delivery excellence, and the ability to establish Intelligence Center X as a strategic capability within the emerging agentic enterprise.
