Delivery Director - Physical AI portfolio IRC

Description

At Global Logic/Hitachi, we are building "Physical AI" - bridging digital agentic intelligence with real-world mechanical and industrial systems. To prove this to our clients in the manufacturing, energy, and mobility sectors, we don't just build slide decks. We build functioning physical prototypes that serve as the foundation for actual agentic AI solutions, targeting massive operational impact across Hitachi's global industrial footprint and our Fortune 500 customers.

We are not building lab experiments; we are building the future of physical operations.
