Only USC and GC candidates on W2. Telecom or Satellite Communications experience is mandatory.We are seeking a Forward Deployed AI Engineer (FDE) to accelerate the real-world adoption of AI within our End-to-End System Test Automation. This role focuses on taking AI tools and prototypes and making them work reliably inside complex engineering environments. You will embed closely with system test engineers, automation framework/ test owners and development teams to adapt, harden and operationalize AI-driven workflows. This is a hands-on engineering role for individuals who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy working close to real users and can turn AI potential into measurable productivity gains.Key ResponsibilitiesForward Deployment of AI into Test Automation and turn AI prototypes into production-ready, repeatable solutionsEmbed with system test and automation teams to:Understand real testing workflows, constraints, and failure modesIdentify where AI can safely and effectively reduce manual effortAdapt AI workflows to work with:Existing automation frameworksReal test data, schemas, and configurationsAgentic AI Implementation & TuningImplement and customize agentic AI workflows that:Interpret requirements, schemas, or modelsAssist in generating structured test assetsTune AI behavior based on:Real test outcomesFailure analysis and feedbackDebug and resolve AI issues in live engineering environmentsAI Tooling & Platform FeedbackWork with AI platforms (e.G., Qodo or similar)



to:Extend functionality where neededConfigure prompts, workflows, and validation layersEvaluate emerging AI tools and frameworks in real system test contextsFeed practical insights back to platform and leadership teams:What worksWhat failsWhat should scaleEnablement, Documentation & GuardrailsDocument AI usage patterns and best practicesSafety-critical configurationsInvalid or destructive AI-generated outputsEnable test engineers to adopt AI confidently and responsiblyRequired Qualifications2+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering or applied AI, with transparent ownership of deploying solutions into real engineering or production environmentsDemonstrated experience taking an AI or automation-based solution from prototype to real-world usage, including adapting it to real constraints, failures, and evolving requirementsProven ability to own and troubleshoot AI behavior, tuning prompts/instructions, adding validation or guardrails, and diagnosing incorrect, unsafe, or low-quality outputsExperience working closely with engineers or end users to understand real workflows and iterating rapidly based on live feedback and outcomesStrong hands-on programming skills (Python required), with experience building orchestration, integration, or control logic across multiple systemsPreferred QualificationsNetworking fundamentals (TCP/IP, MPLS, gNMI, YANG)#J-18808-Ljbffr
