首席人工智能工程师 - 航空航天与国防
Principal AI Engineer - Aerospace & Defense
我们航空航天与防务业务帮助全球领先的航空公司、维修服务商、原始设备制造商和国防运营商保持复杂机队和平台的战备状态，规模化管理维护、资产和服务全生命周期。我们正在重新构想围绕人工智能构建和交付软件的方式，并投资于能够将人工智能应用于产品内部以及开发过程中的工程师。
你将进行前线部署——与航空航天与防务客户在他们自己的环境中并肩工作——交付具备人工智能功能的移动能力，将IFS连接到运行其运营的系统中。这是一个高级职位：你是其他人努力的方向，跨产品组设定技术方向，拥有应用人工智能和前线部署工程的深厚专业知识，并以“自己构建、自己运维”的理念对整个流程负责——从设计和开发到测试、部署和现场的运营可靠性。
你将负责
• 设计我们的下一代移动解决方案。帮助定义并交付航空维修的下一代移动体验——一个快速、可靠、适合现场使用的产品，工程师信任它完成最关键的工作，包括在连接受限的情况下。
• 将人工智能融入产品。设计并交付具备人工智能功能的产品能力——模型集成、提示工程、检索增强生成（RAG）、代理架构以及保持其在生产中可靠的评估工具和MLOps。你构建人工智能系统，而不仅仅是使用它们。
• 使用人工智能构建产品。将人工智能辅助开发和代理工具视为核心工程能力。你提高团队构建效率的标准——可衡量地更快更好，并设定他人采用的标准。
• 前线部署。与航空航天与防务客户紧密合作，在其环境中部署、集成并强化解决方案。你将IFS连接到运行其业务的系统——ERP、CRM、物联网、遥测、遗留系统和任务系统——并在真实客户情境和现实约束下，负责解决方案架构。
• 全程负责交付。在现代通用语言中设计、开发、测试、部署和运营全栈内容。你通过自动化测试确保质量，通过CI/CD管理交付，并确保云、边缘和移动环境中的运营可靠性。
• 作为高级工程师领导。推动跨产品组的技术战略，制定架构并交付高质量的成果

Our Aerospace & Defense business helps the world's leading airlines, MROs, OEMs and defense operators keep complex fleets and platforms mission-ready — managing the full maintenance, asset and service lifecycle at scale. We are reimagining how that software is built and delivered around AI, and we are investing in engineers who can put AI to work both inside our products and in how we build them.
You operate forward deployed — working shoulder-to-shoulder with A&D customers in their own environments — to ship AI-powered mobile capabilities that connect IFS to the systems that run their operations. This is a Principal-level role: you are the person others build toward, setting technical direction across product groups, carrying deep expertise in Applied AI and Forward Deployed Engineering, and taking
end-to-end ownership with a you-build-it, you-run-it mindset — from design and development through testing, deployment and operational reliability in the field.
What you'll do
• Shape our next-generation mobility solution. Help define and deliver the next-generation mobile experience for aviation maintenance — a fast, reliable, field-ready product that engineers trust to do their most critical work, including where connectivity is constrained.
• Build AI into the product. Design and ship AI-powered product capabilities — model integration, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic architectures and the evaluation harnesses and MLOps that keep them reliable in production. You build AI systems, not just use them.
• Use AI to build the product. Treat AI-assisted development and agentic tooling as core engineering capability. You raise the bar for how the team builds — measurably faster and better — and set the standard others adopt.
• Deploy forward. Embed with Aerospace & Defense customers to deploy, integrate and harden solutions in their environment. You connect IFS to the systems that run their business — ERP, CRM, IoT, telemetry, and legacy and mission systems — and own the solution architecture in real customer context, under real-world constraints.
• Own delivery end to end. Design, develop, test, deploy and operate across the full stack in modern general-purpose languages. You own quality through automated testing, manage delivery through CI/CD, and ensure operational reliability in cloud, edge and mobile environments.
• Lead as a Principal. Drive technical strategy across product groups, make the architecture and shipping-quality calls others defer, mentor engineers, and lift the AI and forward-deployment practice of the wider organisation. Represent IFS credibly in front of customers and partners.
• Anchor to the customer. Ground technical decisions in direct customer evidence and business value. You understand the A&D domain deeply enough to know which problems are worth solving and how AI changes the answer.
Essential
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience leveraging AI for building products — using AI-assisted and agentic development tooling as a core part of your workflow — and for building AI within products — shipping production AI capabilities using ML integration, prompt engineering, RAG, agentic architectures, evaluation and testing, and MLOps.
• Mobile engineering: a proven track record building and shipping production mobile applications, with the depth to set the technical direction for a mobile product. Native iOS development experience is strongly preferred given this role's focus on our next-generation aviation-maintenance mobility solution.
• Principal-level impact: a proven track record as a recognised technical authority who drives strategy and delivery across multiple teams or product groups, with the depth to operate as a role model in the most complex, large-scope work.
• Forward-deployed strength: substantial experience deploying, integrating and operating enterprise software directly in customer environments, including integration with ERP, CRM, IoT and legacy systems, and owning solution architecture in customer context.
• Full-lifecycle engineering: strong foundations across the delivery lifecycle — design and development, quality and testing, cloud and DevOps, and security — with proficiency in modern general-purpose programming languages beyond any single domain framework.
• Leadership and ownership: end-to-end ownership with a you-build-it, you-run-it mindset, excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences, and a track record of growing the capability of the engineers and teams around you.
Nice to have
• Experience working in or with Aerospace & Defense organisations, or on solutions for asset, maintenance, MRO or fleet-readiness management.
• Experience with other enterprise asset management (EAM), field service or maintenance-management solutions.
• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience of agile delivery and of working with globally distributed teams.
