• Role Overview and Core Responsibilities

• Define and execute the enterprise AI R&D strategy, integrating classical and generative AI into cohesive architectures that support differentiated business and customer outcomes.

• Lead the design and development of production-grade agentic systems, cognitive architectures, and planning-based AI frameworks for real-world decisioning.

• Advance hybrid AI systems that combine symbolic reasoning, statistical learning, large language models, and deterministic methods such as constraint satisfaction.

• Build, lead, and scale a high-performing organization of applied scientists, machine learning engineers, and research engineers.

• Translate research in automated planning, knowledge graphs, reinforcement learning, optimization, and LLM orchestration into production-ready platforms and reusable components.

• Partner with Product, Engineering, Solutions, and business leaders to identify high-value use cases and embed AI capabilities into customer-facing products.

• Establish practices for AI experimentation, evaluation, reproducibility, and benchmarking, including performance measures for hybrid AI systems.

• 15+ years of progressive experience in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or related technical fields, including leadership of large-scale AI R&D organizations and delivery of measurable business impact.

• Demonstrated experience building and deploying AI-powered products that combine generative AI and classical AI techniques in production environments.

• Deep knowledge of hybrid AI system design and the trade-offs among symbolic, deterministic, probabilistic, and learning-based approaches.

• Executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership experience, with the ability to influence senior leaders and guide complex AI systems from research through commercialization.

• PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or a related discipline with emphasis in classical AI, such as planning, search, logic, or knowledge representation, or equivalent advanced expertise gained through relevant research and industry experience.

• Required Technical Skills

• Generative AI and LLM (Large Language Model) architectures, including agent orchestration and production deployment patterns.

• Classical AI methods, including automated planning and scheduling, search, logic, constraint satisfaction, and knowledge representation.

• Knowledge graphs, symbolic reasoning, and cognitive or agentic system architectures.

• Reinforcement learning, mathematical optimization, statistical learning, and ML (Machine Learning) evaluation methods.

• AI platform and engineering practices supporting scalable, reproducible, explainable, and governed production systems.

• Preferred Skills

• Experience creating reusable enterprise AI platforms, reasoning engines, orchestration layers, or agent frameworks.

• Track record of converting advanced research into scalable, revenue-generating products or customer solutions.

• Experience establishing external research partnerships with universities, laboratories, or industry consortia.
