Forward Deployed Engineer: Ai Solution Architect (f/m/d)

As a Senior AI Solution Architect in our Forward Deployed Engineering team, you see the whole board before a single line of code is written. You partner directly with business leaders across Siemens to map complex challenges to existing data, design cross-platform architectures spanning cloud and enterprise systems, and make critical build-versus-buy decisions in days rather than quarters. You bridge deep technical AI expertise with systems thinking, acting as a force multiplier that enables agile engineering teams to deliver high-impact solutions reliably and repeatedly.

What we offer you:

• An attractive remuneration package
• Access to Siemens share plans
• 30 days of paid vacation and a variety of flexible work schedules that allow time off for you and your family
• Flexible training opportunities for both your professional and personal development that you can tailor to your interests

Since each of over 300,000 team members feels that other benefits are particularly important, and we cannot list our entire benefit portfolio here, you can find more information here.

The individual benefits are subject to regulatory, contractual, or corporate conditions.

You'll make an impact by:

• Driving rapid solution architecture as the first technical expert in every engagement, translating complex business problems into viable technical blueprints within days.
• Designing interconnected solutions across the entire enterprise landscape, leveraging SDC for workloads while integrating seamlessly with SAP, Salesforce, and cloud-native services.
• Owning crucial architecture decisions regarding cost, latency, scalability, and stack selection, while documenting clear justifications for every trade-off.
• Evaluating emerging AI technologies with rigorous skepticism, providing evidence-backed adoption recommendations and having the courage to say "not ready yet."
• Staying actively involved in the codebase through technical spikes, prototype development, and pull-request reviews to ensure your architectures remain grounded in reality.
• Designing from day one for seamless handover, establishing explicit interface contracts, evaluation harnesses, and operational runbooks so domain teams can run systems autonomously.

Your defining qualities:

• Education: You hold a university degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI/ML, or a comparable quantitative field, where a proven track record of shipped systems outweighs advanced degrees.
• Experience & Skills:
  • You bring 8 or more years of experience in software architecture, AI/ML systems design, or solution architecture, including at least 3 years focused on complex enterprise AI solutions.
  • You demonstrate a robust history of customer-facing delivery and technical leadership, especially when navigating demanding or high-pressure stakeholder environments.
  • You posses hands-on coding capabilities in Python alongside TypeScript or JavaScript, allowing you to write production-grade code and build functional prototypes.
  • You provide expertise in cross-platform system design by successfully integrating disparate enterprise environments like SAP, Salesforce, and modern cloud services.
  • You exhibit deep knowledge of the modern AI stack, covering LLM failure modes, RAG architectures, evaluation metrics, vector stores, and prominent agent frameworks.
  • You bring working knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (Azure, AWS, or GCP) sufficient to design scalable multi-platform workloads.
• Ways of working:
  • You demonstrate the critical ability to evaluate emerging technologies objectively, separate genuine value from hype, and communicate technical realities clearly.
  • You display exceptional live communication skills to sketch defensible architectures in real-time meetings and explain them fluently in business terms.
• Languages: You have fluent English language skills, complemented by strong German proficiency as an advantageous asset for local stakeholder engagements.
