Full Job Description
Job Responsibilities

  • Serve as the engineering lead for Agentic AI delivery across Supply Planning and Manufacturing - owning the design, development, and deployment of production-grade AI agent solutions.
  • Architect and build multi-agent AI systems using Azure AI Agent Service, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, and/or LangChain/LangGraph - including orchestrator-executor patterns, tool calling, memory management, and agent coordination.
  • Implement the MCP to surface enterprise data as structured context for AI agents operating in supply chain and manufacturing workflows.
  • Build and deploy generative AI solutions on Azure AI Foundry - RAG-based knowledge agents, decision support for forecasting and capacity planning, and document intelligence for maintenance work orders and recipes.
  • Design and deliver AI copilots and topic-based agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio - enabling Supply Planning and Manufacturing teams to access insights and take action directly from Teams and Outlook.
  • Act as the AI delivery owner for agentic use cases - scoping business problems with stakeholders, defining agent capabilities and tool surfaces, prioritizing the roadmap, and driving adoption.
  • Apply emerging agentic AI patterns - including ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, reflection, and human-in-the-loop - for supply chain and operational use cases.
  • Partner with Supply Chain leadership, Demand Planning, Process Engineering, Maintenance Ops, and Plant teams to identify, scope, and deliver AI use cases that influence operational decisions.
  • Define and maintain AI agent governance - prompt versioning, tool auditing, evaluation frameworks, observability, and safety guardrails for production deployments.
  • Develop on Azure Databricks - PySpark and SQL against gold/platinum Delta tables, notebooks for transformation and feature work, and orchestration via Workflows.
  • Build and maintain Power BI reports and semantic models that serve as grounding data for AI agents and executive dashboards across Supply Planning and Manufacturing.
  • Own Supply Chain AI metrics alignment cadence - keeping priorities, status, and roadblocks visible to Supply Chain and Manufacturing leadership.
  • Mentor analysts and engineers on agentic AI design patterns, MCP, and AI delivery best practices.

Technical:
  • Hands-on experience with the MCP - building or consuming MCP servers/clients; ability to expose enterprise data sources (databases, APIs, SharePoint, ERP) as MCP tools for AI agents.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-agent system design - designing and implementing multi-agent architectures; orchestrator-executor patterns, tool calling, memory management, and agent coordination using AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, LangChain/LangGraph, or Azure AI Agent Service.
  • Strong Python engineering skills - building production-grade AI agents and pipelines, including REST API integration, prompt versioning, evaluation frameworks, and observability for LLM-based systems.
  • Compulsory - must have hands-on experience with two or more of the following:
  • Azure AI Foundry (RAG pipelines, prompt flows, agent service)
  • Microsoft Copilot Studio (agents, topics, actions, Power Automate integration)
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility (plugins, connectors, Graph APIs)
  • Microsoft Power BI (DAX, semantic modeling, performance tuning)
  • Strong proficiency in Databricks (Python, SQL, Delta Lake, PySpark, notebooks).
  • Strong functional understanding of Supply Planning (S&OP, demand/supply planning, inventory, order management) and/or Manufacturing (plant maintenance, capacity planning, OEE).
  • Experience with SAP ECC / S/4HANA supply chain and manufacturing modules (MM, PP, SD, PM).
  • Ability to translate business problems into agentic AI solutions and communicate clearly to technical and executive audiences.
  • Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills in cross-functional environments.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience deploying AI agents in production - evaluation frameworks, safety guardrails, logging, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
  • Familiarity with agentic design patterns (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, reflection, structured tool outputs).
  • Familiarity with knowledge graphs or graph databases (e.g., Neo4j) for agent reasoning and grounding.
  • Strong Power BI experience - semantic modeling, performance optimization, executive dashboard design.
  • Experience in chemicals, manufacturing, or process industries.
  • Experience with Palantir Foundry (pipelines, ontology, Workshop, AIP).
  • Exposure to MLOps on Azure (Azure ML, MLflow, Databricks Asset Bundles, CI/CD for analytics).
