Customer Focus The AI Architect will build solid working relationships with internal and external customers. The individual must be able to communicate complex technical and AI concepts clearly to business, scientific, and technical stakeholders. The AI Architect will gain customer confidence by understanding customer business and operational needs, setting realistic expectations, identifying risks and alternatives, and designing scalable solutions that create measurable value.

The role may also represent LabVantage in customer demonstrations, technical workshops,



pre-sales activities, customer training, and industry events.

Architecture Review, Quality, and Delivery The AI Architect will oversee the design and quality of AI-enabled solutions delivered by project teams. This includes reviewing architecture, code, integrations, prompts, data-access controls, retrieval quality, model outputs, test approaches, and deployment readiness. The primary objective of this review is to ensure that solutions are secure, maintainable, scalable, reliable, and aligned with established technical and AI best practices.

The AI Architect will define and continuously improve standards for architecture review, AI quality evaluation, code review, documentation, testing, deployment, and production support.

Project Implementation and Go-Live Support The AI Architect’s involvement is critical to ensure the appropriate technical framework, resources, automation, security controls, and support model are in place for implementation, testing, go-live, and post-go-live support.

The AI Architect will guide teams in defining test strategies for AI-enabled solutions, including functional testing, integration testing, security testing, regression testing, performance testing, AI output evaluation, and user acceptance testing. The role will help ensure a smooth transition from development and testing environments to production.

Training and Coaching The AI Architect will provide mentoring and technical leadership to junior and senior engineering team members. This includes reviewing solution designs, encouraging reuse of components, developing delivery best practices, and supporting skill development in AI, GenAI, enterprise architecture, LabVantage implementation, and customer delivery.

Cross-Functional Collaboration The AI Architect will work across PSO, Product, R&D;, Support, Sales, Quality Assurance, and customer teams. The role will provide input on product enhancements, reusable AI capabilities, technical strategy, customer solution patterns, and high-priority issue resolution.

Contribution to Innovation and Reusable Components The AI Architect will evaluate and propose technical innovations for the PSO organization. This includes developing proof of concepts, AI reference architectures, reusable components, implementation accelerators, evaluation frameworks, and delivery standards that can be used across multiple LabVantage customer projects.
