The future is being built today and Johnson Controls is making that future more productive, more secure and more sustainable. We are harnessing the power of cloud, AI/ML and Data analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and user design thinking to deliver on the promise of intelligent buildings and smart cities that connect communities in ways that make people’s lives and the world better. As the AI landscape expands to GenAI, we must continuously evolve and pivot to capitalize on these advancements and bring them through the maturity cycle to benefit our teams and our customers.
What you will do:
The OpenBlue Engineering, Data and Analytics team’s prime mission for Intelligence is to leverage data and advancing technologies to transform our products and our business. To this end, given the variety of data sources and platforms where data resides, there is a need to both design and create automated pipelines and make the data available to analysts and applications. This role resides in a dedicated AI and Intelligence team, whose charter includes building and deploying intelligence capabilities. The Principal Architect role bridges between the scientists and enabling engineers to bring the full solution together in a scalable, repeatable solution. The lifecycle for streamlining operations spans from Data supply strategy to Data discovery to Data Modeling to AI Model training and development to deployment of Intelligence in the Cloud as well as at the Edge.
Taking solutions to production requires a combination of cloud engineering, data engineering, and software engineering. This entails building a unified and cohesive infrastructure that is generic enough to work for all use cases and modular enough to create particular workflows for special cases. And this is where you come in. We are looking for a talented Principal Architect with industry experience to contribute to foundational platform and data engineering with repeatability in mind. The Principal Architect will be a key member of our Data/Analytics/AI team, working with data engineers, data scientists, AI scientists, product managers, platform engineers, and domain experts.
Solutions Architecture: This role will translate business requirements into reference architectures that help productionize Analytics solutions for Smart Buildings, keeping repeatability and scale in mind.
Innovation and Proof of Concept: Be the first to experiment with new technologies, determine their primary utility, how they can integrate with other existing and new tools, and propose new/revised solutions as part of our portfolio. Work with Architecture and other Enterprise teams who are researching and experimenting with similar tools.
Technical Writing: This role will translate data requirements for applications and distill them into a high-quality, well-thought-out, cohesive implementation plan. Coordinate with Product and engineering to understand timelines, help with build-vs-buy decisions.
How you will do it:
Own the Open Blue AI Engineering solutions architecture roadmap and execution strategy that aligns with partner product groups within JCI to ensure timely integration and delivery
Work with product and engineering teams, architect and help productize end-to-end Analytics solutions accounting for the variability in data sources and collection policies, modeling frameworks for cloud and edge, and serving infrastructure
Work with data scientists, DevOps, data engineers/SMEs from domain to understand how data availability and quality affects model performance
Create and streamline workflows that allow fast experimentation of Analytics solutions that need to operate on a large scale. This includes processes for good source control and branching methodologies, CI/CD, automated testing and model monitoring and updates
Lead by example and mentor team members by demonstrating how to write well-designed modular code following best software engineering principles and using widely adopted frameworks/libraries
Evaluate partners, open source and proprietary technologies and present recommendations to onboard potential vendors, automate data pipelines/workflows, data modelling for versioned experimentation, digital feedback and monitoring
Architect and develop reference architecture for operationalizing Machine learning, LLM & Conversational AI solutions tailored to resolve unique and challenging use cases.
What we look for:
