Manufacturing Systems and Infrastructure (MSI) team is an engineering organization under the Product Operations org. MSI is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of systems tools, services, and applications required to efficiently run manufacturing operations at scale across global factory sites.
As an AI Data Platform Engineer with the MSI team, you will design, build, and operate scalable AI data platforms that enable GenAI, Agentic AI, and Embodied AI solutions across the enterprise. You will develop reusable platform services, data pipelines, and data quality frameworks that transform fragmented enterprise and multimodal data into trusted, AI-ready datasets - combining expertise in AI data platform engineering, data quality, systems engineering, and AI data lifecycle management to accelerate AI innovation.
Description
Design, build, and maintain scalable AI data platforms, services, and APIs that support and enable AI model development and production.
Develop data ingestion, transformation, and publishing pipelines for structured, unstructured, and multimodal data.
Build AI-ready datasets through ground truth creation, data curation, annotation workflows, dataset versioning, and metadata management.
Develop data quality frameworks, validation pipelines, observability, and evaluation metrics to ensure trusted AI datasets.
Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, embedding workflows, vector database integrations, and metadata services for enterprise AI applications.
Build scalable platform capabilities for managing the end-to-end AI data lifecycle, including ground truth dataset creation, dataset versioning, metadata and lineage management, automated data quality validation, governance, and secure publishing of AI-ready datasets.
Collaborate with AI/ML engineers, software engineers, product teams, and domain experts to define AI data requirements and deliver production-ready data solutions.
Optimize platform scalability, reliability, performance, security, and cost across cloud-native environments.
Drive engineering best practices for AI data architecture, platform design, automation, testing, monitoring, and operational excellence.
