Embedded Ai Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

As a Manager, AI Engineering (Forward Deployed Engineer) in Deloitte Cyber, you will be embedded in a client's environment to design, build, and ship production-grade AI capabilities using the client's own data, systems, and workflows. This role is administratively aligned to the Cyber Resilience practice, and the applied use cases you build will typically span disaster recovery orchestration, control and evidence collection, continuity and recovery planning, and third-party resilience monitoring - but these are application areas your AI engineering work supports, not prerequisites requiring deep resilience or audit domain credentials. You will combine strong engineering depth with the judgment to translate ambiguous client problems into working AI systems, shape technical solutions during pursuits, and build reusable accelerators that raise the bar across engagements. 

Recruiting for this role ends on 12/31/2026.

Work you'll do

As a Manager on a client-embedded AI engineering team, you will be responsible for:

          Designing and hands-on building AI-enabled solutions (agents, retrieval/RAG pipelines, automation workflows) directly inside a client's environment, using their live data and systems

          Ensuring deployed AI systems meet production bars for evaluation, guardrails, observability, reliability, security, and cost/performance management

          Building automated controls and response workflows that support disaster recovery orchestration and continuity and recovery operations

          Building AI-enabled control and evidence collection capabilities - automating inventory, monitoring, and evidence gathering to produce audit-ready evidence across cybersecurity, continuity, and third-party resilience programs

          Translating client business needs - including resilience use cases such as continuity planning and recovery orchestration - into working, production-grade AI technical solutions aligned to target architecture

          Leading the hands-on design, integration, deployment, and operation of production-grade solutions, including troubleshooting and resolving technical issues within scope

          Shaping technical solutions during pursuits by leading demonstrations, proofs of concept, prototypes, effort estimation, and pricing inputs

          Leading client-facing workshops, demonstrations, and training sessions to drive adoption of new AI capabilities, and supporting operational handoff so client teams can run and maintain what you build

          Managing client delivery by overseeing scope, timelines, quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement across engagements

          Contributing to and extending existing reusable accelerators, documentation, and engineering best practices to build team and client capability

          Mentoring engineers and leading individual workstreams within the engagement

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

          Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team

          Effective written and verbal communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product, ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment

          Ability to build and sustain professional relationships, lead projects or workstreams and meet deadlines

          Ability to mentor and provide clear guidance to others

The team

Deloitte's Cyber Resilience practice helps organizations anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruption - spanning disaster recovery orchestration, business continuity and recovery planning, and third-party resilience, as well as the underlying architecture, inventory, monitoring, and control and evidence collection programs that demonstrate cybersecurity and continuity posture to regulators and stakeholders. The team is building AI-driven capabilities - including automated controls, continuous monitoring, response workflows, and audit-ready evidence generation - designed to help clients strengthen resilience posture, simplify complexity, and respond with greater speed and confidence when disruption occurs.

The FDE is embedded directly in a client's environment to build and ship AI capabilities using the client's own data, systems, and workflows, with resilience and recovery use cases (e.g., disaster recovery orchestration, control and evidence collection, response workflows, third-party resilience monitoring) as the applied domain for that AI engineering work.

Qualifications

Required:

          Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field; alternatively, equivalent demonstrated experience

          8-10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and deploying production-grade systems using one or more of the following - Python, Java, or Node.js

          5+ years of experience translating client or business requirements into target-state solution architectures using REST APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures, or serverless components

          2+ years of experience delivering solutions on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, including containers, continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, and version control tools

          2+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying generative AI or large language model solutions (e.g., agents, RAG, tool-calling) in a client or production environment - beyond proof-of-concept

          Hands-on experience applying production AI engineering practices - evaluation, guardrails, observability, reliability, security, and cost/performance management - to deployed models and agentic systems

          Ability to work directly and independently within a client's environment and codebase, including navigating unfamiliar systems and undocumented workflows

          Ability to build automation that integrates with monitoring, ITSM, or GRC platforms to support control monitoring, evidence collection, and response workflows

          Experience leading client enablement activities - workshops, demonstrations, adoption planning, and operational handoff - to help client teams adopt and sustain delivered solutions

          Experience contributing to and extending reusable AI accelerators, tools, or frameworks that speed up delivery across engagements

          Exposure to disaster recovery, business continuity, or third-party resilience concepts is a plus but not required - domain onboarding will be provided

          Ability to travel 25-50%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve

          Limited immigration sponsorship may be available

Preferred:

          Front-end / full-stack breadth - JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern UI framework (React / Next.js) for building demo apps and lightweight delivery tooling leveraging agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.)

          Experience with agent orchestration or LLM application frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Model Context Protocol, Bedrock Agents, Azure AI Foundry, Vertex AI)

          Experience with GRC, ITSM, or monitoring/observability platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, Archer, Splunk, Datadog) relevant to control monitoring and evidence automation

          Familiarity with control frameworks or standards (NIST CSF, ISO 22301, SOC 2) sufficient to model them in code - audit or assessor experience not required

          Experience designing AI-enabled use cases within resilience or continuity workflows (e.g., disaster recovery orchestration, control and evidence automation, third-party resilience monitoring) is a plus, though not a prerequisite

          Prior experience in a forward-deployed, embedded, or client-site engineering model (vs. offshore/remote delivery only)

          Industry depth in a regulated vertical (financial services, healthcare, public sector) and exposure to associated compliance regimes (SOX, PCI DSS, FFIEC, HIPAA, GDPR)

          Kubernetes, GitOps, and advanced cloud-native delivery patterns

          Familiarity with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and model evaluation

          Relevant certifications - cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) or AI/ML-specific certifications
