• Be the hands-on AI champion who drives initiatives from idea to production within end-to-end workflows in collaboration with Product Owners, architects, developers, testers, process owners, security and platform stakeholders.
• Review AI-generated output critically for correctness, security, maintainability and hallucinations before it is used in production.
• Ensure AI solutions comply with platform standards, security, privacy, ZEISS governance and ethical AI requirements
