Description
What We Are Looking For
(Note: We have a strictly AI-first environment - we provide, and expect you to heavily leverage, a Gemini Ultra subscription to accelerate your architectural design, research, and daily workflows so you can focus purely on high-level solutioning and customer success.)
OT & IT Integration Expert: Deep expertise in connecting modern cloud/IT infrastructure with OT systems. You understand the realities of legacy industrial environments.
Manufacturing Acumen: A strong understanding of manufacturing processes, supply chain logistics, or energy grids. You must be able to credibly discuss your past impact on actual manufacturing facilities.
The Transformation Communicator: You possess high emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills. You know how to sit down with senior operational leaders, translate AI hype into structural reality, and guide them through a massive technological shift.
Highly Technical Foundation: While you won't be soldering microcontrollers daily, you must be deeply technical. You understand APIs, AI agentic frameworks, and system architecture.
Industrial Automation (Bonus): Hands-on past experience with or strong understanding of manufacturing automation (e.g., standard PLCs like Siemens, Allen Bradley, or Mitsubishi) is a significant plus.
Why Join Us?
This is the ultimate opportunity to apply advanced AI to the physical world with massive real-world stakes 8. You will take cutting-edge AI models out of the sandbox and deploy them at scale, transforming global industries and defining the future of physical operations. #LI-VK1
Requirements
Location: US (Remote)
The Vision
Generative AI is stepping out of the browser and into the physical world. At GlobalLogic/Hitachi, we are building "Physical AI"-bridging digital agentic intelligence with real-world mechanical and industrial systems. While our prototyping engineers build the physical lab foundations, we need visionary architects to scale these innovations into actual enterprise environments. We target massive operational impact across Hitachi's global industrial footprint and our Fortune 500 customers. We are leading the Physical AI revolution, transforming how asset-heavy industries operate.
The Role
You sit at the intersection of Physical AI capabilities, IT/OT systems integration, and customer enterprise transformation. While similar to our Physical AI engineers, this is a customer-facing solutioning role rather than an active hands-on prototyping position. You will act as the critical bridge between our advanced AI labs and our industrial clients.
Your job is to translate cutting-edge agentic AI models and physical prototypes into scalable, secure, and highly integrated architectures for real-world manufacturing and industrial facilities. You are highly technical, but your true passion is seeing the tangible impact of your architectures through successful customer transformation.
Experience & Education Requirements
Experience: 7+ years dedicated to technical solution architecture, IT/OT integration, or systems engineering, with a proven track record in customer-facing technical leadership.
Domain Expertise: Proven experience working with asset-heavy industries (Manufacturing, Energy, Utilities) and deep familiarity with their IT/OT environments. Must be able to demonstrate past impact on physical manufacturing facilities
Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
Job responsibilities
What You Will Do
Customer Solutioning & Architecture: Architect comprehensive Physical AI solutions that seamlessly integrate advanced AI models with existing IT systems and Operations Technology (OT) on the manufacturing floor.
Bridge the Digital and the Physical: Translate the capabilities of autonomous AI agents into concrete, scalable industrial workflows. You will take the innovations developed by our hardware hackers and map them to standard industrial automation realities.
Drive Customer Transformation: Lead technical workshops and deep-dive discussions with client engineering and operational leaders. You will communicate complex AI concepts into actionable operational strategies, making clients feel confident in adopting the Physical AI revolution.
IT/OT Integration Strategy: Design secure, robust data pipelines bridging modern AI software environments with standard industrial protocols, enterprise systems (e.g., AVEVA PI, SAP, Maximo), and PLCs.
Impact Realization: Continually align technical solutioning with measurable impact on the actual manufacturing facilities, focusing on execution velocity, safety, and operational ROI.
GlobalLogic estimates the starting pay range for this role to be performed in the US is $180,000 to $220,000 and reflects base salary only. This pay range is provided as a good faith estimate and the amount offered may be higher or lower. GlobalLogic takes many factors into consideration in making an offer, including candidate qualifications, work experience, operational needs, travel and onsite requirements, internal peer equity, prevailing wage, responsibilities, and other market and business considerations.
What we offer
Exciting Projects:Come take your place at the forefront of digital transformation! With clients across all industries and sectors, we offer an opportunity to work on market-defining products using the latest technologies.
Collaborative Environment: You can expand your skills by collaborating with a diverse team of highly talented people in an open, laidback environment - or even abroad in one of our global centers or client facilities!
Work-Life Balance:GlobalLogic prioritizes work-life balance, which is why we offer flexible work schedules and opportunities to work from home.
Professional Development:We provide continuing education classes, professional certification and training (technical, soft skills, language, and communication skills) to help you realize your professional goals. Being part of a global organization, there are additional learning opportunities through international knowledge exchanges.
Excellent Benefits:We provide our employees with competitive salaries, health and life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance, a matched contribution 401K plan, flexible spending accounts, and PTO and holidays
