Position Summary:

As our AI Platform Architect, you will develop platforms that make it simple for teams across Rockwell to use AI. You will deliver working AI tools using infrastructure as code and create platforms that accelerate how quickly we can adopt and benefit from AI.

This is a hands-on role. You will write code, build pipelines, deploy infrastructure, and own what you ship. You will also partner with engineering, data, and security teams to make sure what you build fits into how we work.

Deliver Infrastructure as Code

  • You will develop all platform components using infrastructure as code
  • You will create repeatable deployment patterns and automated pipelines
  • You will lead the automation that provisions, updates, and scales platform environments

Enable AI Adoption

  • You will build practical tools and services that reduce the barriers to using AI across the enterprise
  • You will create standardized paths for teams to build, test, and deploy AI solutions
  • You will focus on making the platform easy to adopt so teams spend their time on outcomes, not on setup

Integrate and Operate

  • You will connect data pipelines, model services, APIs, and monitoring into a cohesive platform
  • You will support both real-time and batch AI workloads
  • You will ensure high availability, performance, cost efficiency, and security across all platform components

  • Background in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and hybrid enterprise environments.
  • Hands-on experience designing platforms using containers, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML platform requirements, including GPU acceleration, high-performance storage, and network throughput.
  • Experience integrating security, identity, and compliance controls into shared platforms.
  • Experience designing enterprise-ready platforms that balance innovation, risk, and operational scalability.

What We Offer:
