Forward Deployed Engineer

P-1 AI is building an AI engineer agent named Archie to integrate seamlessly into engineering teams. The Forward Deployed Engineer will serve as the technical lead for customer deployments, focusing on building and supporting end-to-end AI solutions that address real-world engineering challenges.

Responsibilities:

• Work with customers over the entire Archie product lifecycle: Lead discovery sessions, translate engineering challenges into AI use cases, design how Archie integrates into each workflow, and provide post-deployment support to ensure customer success
• Design, implement, and refine customer integrations: Connect Archie to engineering data sources and tools, iterate until it delivers measurable value
• Fine-tune and evaluate AI systems in production environments: Identify, collect, and prepare customer data to fine-tune models. Source evaluation criteria and questions from customer sessions to validate improved engineering capability
• Collaborate with engineering teams: Work closely with subject matter experts and AI specialists to develop novel AI systems capable of executing critical customer engineering tasks
• Diagnose and resolve critical issues in live deployments: Drive root-cause analysis and implement durable improvements across the organization

Requirements:

• Experience shipping data-driven or AI systems to production
• A physical engineering background (automotive, aerospace, electrical, mechanical, etc.)
• Can rapidly build integrations between disparate customer systems
• Comfortable working directly with customers and technical leaders
• Have integrated or extended AI systems
• Delivered solutions in secure enterprise environments
• Handled live production troubleshooting and customer incident response
• Python experience strongly preferred
