Ltd.\nJob Description\nAbout the Team\nOur team builds enterprise-grade AI platforms and solutions across Agentic AI, Generative AI for the software development lifecycle, systems engineering, automated testing, MLOps, computer vision, and engineering data intelligence.\nWe are looking for architects who can translate complex automotive and engineering challenges into scalable AI, cloud, and software architecture, and help take solutions from research and proof of concept to production across global engineering teams.\nWhat you can look forward to as Solution Architect: AI / LLM solutions (m/f/d)\nEnd-to-end ownership: You'll own the technical architecture of enterprise Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions, from framing the business problem through to secure, observable and cost-efficient production systems.\nReal-world impact: You'll turn LLM capabilities into reliable, auditable solutions that hold up against complex enterprise data, strict security and compliance requirements, tight latency and cost budgets, and unpredictable model behavior. This role goes well beyond proof of concept.\nArchitecture leadership: You'll set the reference architecture, platform patterns and guardrails that multiple engineering teams build on.\nStrategic decisions: You'll lead decisions on what to build versus buy, which models to use, and whether to customize models through fine-tuning, weighing quality, cost, scalability and vendor independence.\nCutting-edge technology: You'll design multi-agent systems on leading frameworks and cloud platforms, such as LangGraph, AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry.\nVisibility and influence: You'll be the trusted technical authority for business leaders, security teams and enterprise architecture boards.\nYour Profile as Solution Architect: AI / LLM solutions (m/f/d)\nA bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, AI or a related field.\n10+ years in software, data or ML engineering, including at least 3 years as a solution or lead architect.\nProduction GenAI delivery: You have delivered at least 2-3 LLM / Generative AI solutions into production, not only proofs of concept, and owned the architecture and non-functional requirements end to end.\nAgentic AI: You have built hands-on agentic systems hands-on, with tool use, state management and human-in-the-loop controls. You've used code-first frameworks such as LangGraph / LangChain or managed platforms such as AWS Bedrock Agents or Azure AI Foundry Agent Service.\n LLM and model expertise: You have a strong grasp of LLM fundamentals (transformers, embeddings, context windows). You have hands-on experience customising models through fine-tuning (e.g., LoRA / QLoRA) and evaluating them, and you can choose sensibly between prompting, RAG and training.\n Engineering and cloud: You are an expert in Python and API enginee0ring (FastAPI, async, event-driven design). You have strong architecture experience on at least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure or GCP), including networking, identity and security.\n RAG, quality and security: You have practical experience with vector databases, hybrid search and retrieval evaluation. You've implemented LLM evaluation, tracing and observability in production, and you're well-grounded in AI security (prompt-injection defence, data protection).\nWhy you should choose ZF in India\nInnovative Environment: ZF is at the forefront of technological advancements, offering a dynamic and innovative work environment that encourages creativity and growth.\nDiverse and Inclusive Culture: ZF fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are valued and respected, promoting a culture of collaboration and mutual support.\nCareer Development: ZF is committed to the professional growth of its employees, offering extensive training programs, career development opportunities, and a clear path for advancement.\nGlobal Presence: As a part of a global leader in driveline and chassis technology, ZF provides opportunities to work on international projects and collaborate with teams worldwide.\n Sustainability Focus: ZF is dedicated to sustainability and environmental responsibility, actively working towards creating eco-friendly solutions and reducing its carbon footprint.\nBe part of our ZF team as Senior Solution Architect (AI / LLM solutions) and apply now!\nContact\nKritika Bomzan","description_format":"text","description_chars":4387,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":3,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Automotive Components"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T00:12:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.872,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:9","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T19:32:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23653,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7001},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7001"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fzf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fzf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/zf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzf-group-senior-solution-architect-ai-llm-solutions"}]}
