Full Job Description
A Snapshot of Your Day

Our team is seeking a visionary AI leader who has already proven themselves at the world's most demanding technology companies and is ready for a harder, more meaningful challenge.

As Principal AI Agent Engineer within Siemens Energy's AI Factory, you will architect enterprise-scale multi-agent systems that coordinate across the full Gas Services value chain-operating in environments where mistakes have real physical consequences and success reshapes how an entire industry works. You'll lead a small, elite team with the autonomy to define technical direction and the mandate to ship at global enterprise scale.

Roughly one-sixth of the world's electricity is generated using Siemens Energy technologies. This role offers a rare opportunity to transform a 150-year-old industrial leader from the inside, defining how AI agents will power the future workplace and the future of energy itself.

How You'll Make an Impact
  • Architect enterprise-scale multi-agent systems where specialized agents coordinate complex workflows across multiple business functions.
  • Define the technical vision and reference architectures for the AI Agent Factory, the platform used to build, deploy, and govern agents across the enterprise.
  • Design robust coordination protocols and orchestration patterns that enable reliable multi-agent operation in production environments where downtime has real-world energy impact.
  • Translate cutting-edge agentic AI research into production-grade systems, delivering custom, code-first implementations and fine-tuned LLMs for industrial domains, no low-code abstractions.
  • Mentor and elevate Staff and Senior engineers, setting the standard for engineering excellence, technical rigor, and a strong code-first culture across the AI Factory.
  • Communicate technical strategy to senior leadership, bridging what's possible in agentic AI with what drives measurable value for the energy business.
What You Bring
  • 6-9 years of production AI/ML experience. Candidates with more experience can be considered at a higher level.
  • 3+ years designing and shipping multi-agent or complex LLM-based systems at scale.
  • Proven track record at a top-tier technology company (Google, Meta, Oracle, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, or equivalent), with experience operating at an elite technical bar and the drive to take on a new, high-impact challenge.
  • You've built production agents and tooling from the ground up, working across Python, TypeScript, and Go, with hands-on LLM fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) and custom orchestration-far beyond prebuilt frameworks.
  • Experience with LangGraph and AutoGen, and the ability to build custom agent coordination layers when needed.
  • Strong communicator with the ability to clearly explain emergent agent behaviors, coordination trade-offs, and system design decisions to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
  • Comfortable operating across time zones, enabling strong day-to-day collaboration with European partners (UTC-2 to UTC+2 overlap strongly preferred).
Export Control Requirement:Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
