As an AI Platform Senior Engineer you will be a strategic and technical driver of 3M's enterprise AI initiatives, guiding cross-functional teams to design, build, and scale cutting-edge AI solutions. Your role goes beyond engineering-you will set the vision, mentor teams, ensure governance, and deliver high-value AI outcomes aligned with business goals.

Here, you will make an impact by:

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading AI Solution Development: Drive the design, development, and deployment of AI/ML and Generative AI solutions, ensuring scalability, security, and performance across global environments.
• Establishing Best Practices: Define standards for LLMOps/MLOps, model lifecycle management, governance, and compliance while embedding responsible AI principles.
• Building High-Performance Teams: Lead, mentor, and upskill engineers, data scientists, and architects; foster an innovation-driven culture with measurable impact.
• Driving Generative AI Adoption: Develop and deploy agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and AI orchestration frameworks that integrate seamlessly into enterprise workflows.
• Owning Governance & Compliance: Implement robust security, privacy, and ethical AI practices; enforce policies for model explainability, drift monitoring, and lineage tracking.
• Innovating Continuously: Evaluate and adopt emerging AI technologies (LLMs, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, vector DBs) and run proof-of-concept initiatives to keep 3M ahead of the curve.
• Partnering Across the Enterprise: Act as the AI thought leader, collaborating with business stakeholders, cloud architects, and product teams to deliver transformative solutions.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (completed and verified prior to start).
• Two to three years of experience in AI/ML engineering, data science, or platform leadership roles.

• Deep experience in cloud ecosystems (AWS or Azure) and working knowledge of multi-cloud integration.
• Proven track record of delivering production-grade AI systems, including model deployment, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation).

Additional qualifications that could help you succeed even further in this role include:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Strong understanding of LLMs and Generative AI frameworks, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, OpenSearch), and prompt engineering techniques.
