Director, AI Engineering - Manufacturing

We are seeking a senior engineering and AI/ML leader to build and lead a distributed team of AI/ML engineers supporting manufacturing sites across the company. Based in Bangkok or the UK or Canada and reporting to the Chief AI Officer, this role will translate high-value manufacturing problems into reliable, scalable AI systems that improve productivity, quality, yield, equipment performance, and operational decision-making.

The ideal candidate brings 15+ years of experience across engineering management, software engineering, AI/ML systems, and data science, combined with deep practical knowledge of manufacturing environments. This leader must be equally comfortable setting technical direction, coaching engineers, partnering with plant and business leaders, and working close to the factory floor to move solutions from discovery through production adoption.

Lead, grow, and develop a distributed team of AI/ML engineers who work across manufacturing sites and solve site-specific operational problems.

Establish the technical vision, engineering standards, delivery practices, and talent strategy for manufacturing AI across the organization.
