Key

outcomes:

AI Control Tower MVP live in production, covering runtime signals, agent inventory, and unified audit log across Copilot Studio, AI Builder, and Power Automate.
Agent Ops observability in production for the priority agent set, with tracing, evaluation scoring, and drift and hallucination monitoring wired into incident response.
AI Fin Ops dashboard reporting token, credit, and vendor-license spend by use case, with attribution back to owners.
Policy-as-Code framework live for the top 5 AI policies, with automated evidence collection into the AI Funnel intake.
Post-approval lifecycle monitoring stood up, closing Eaton's #1 AI maturity gap with per-use-case telemetry and named owners.
Pod operating on a healthy CI/CD, IaC, and SLO discipline, with published engineering standards adopted across both build pods.
Vendor and embedded AI telemetry ingested from Service Now, Mule Soft, Agentforce, and Git Hub Copilot into the Control Tower for coverage reporting.

Job Responsibilities:

Set the technical direction, design standards, and engineering practices for the pod as a hands-on IC, contributing production code every sprint.
Design, build, and run the AI Control Tower, Agent Ops, AI Funnel, AI Fin Ops, and Policy-as-Code capabilities that power Eaton's AI Governance program. [AIDG Capab...Org Model | PowerPoint]
Engineer observability, monitoring, compliance, and alerting across Eaton's AI estate, including post-approval lifecycle monitoring. []

Own architecture and design for complex, integrated systems: interfaces, data structures, storage, integrations, and deployment.
Set and defend non-functional requirements: scalability, performance, reliability, security, and cost.
Manage the LLM lifecycle for pod-built solutions: prompt versioning, eval design, accuracy scoring, and drift and hallucination monitoring. []

Ingest telemetry from embedded and vendor AI (Service Now, Mule Soft, Agentforce, Git Hub Copilot) into the AI Asset Catalog and Control Tower. []
Provide dotted-line technical leadership to three engineers: design reviews, code reviews, coaching, and technical growth planning.
