AI Software Engineering Lead

What You'll Bring (Requirements)

• Principal-level depth in software engineering, firmware engineering, AI engineering, architecture, developer productivity, or a related technical leadership path
• Hands-on experience applying AI development tools, large language models, RAG approaches, MCP concepts, agentic workflows, coding agents, or AI-powered engineering platforms in real software environments
• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar code bases, development environments, and technical constraints, then identify where AI can create practical value
• Credibility with developers and the technical fluency to coach, prototype, troubleshoot, and lead by example rather than relying only on strategy or presentations
• Strong communication and change leadership skills, with the ability to influence teams without direct authority and help them adopt new ways of working

You would stand out if you also bring (Preferred Requirements)

• Experience across both software and embedded/firmware development environments
• Experience with IoT solutions, industrial automation, instrumentation, or connected products
• Experience leading DevOps, platform engineering, architecture, or developer productivity initiatives
• Experience implementing organizational change management programs within technology teams
• Familiarity with water quality, environmental monitoring, laboratory, utility, compliance, or industrial technology markets
• Understanding of AI governance, security, privacy, and compliant AI development practices
• This is a rare opportunity to be a force multiplier for the Water Quality segment — not by owning one narrow product area, but by helping many teams move faster, modernize smarter, and apply AI responsibly where it can make a measurable difference. If you are energized by mission-driven AI work, thrive in ambiguous and varied technical environments, and want the autonomy to turn practical ideas into visible impact, we would love to connect.
