The Principal Applied AI Solutions Engineer serves as a senior technical builder within the GE Appliances AI Lab. This role leads the hands-on engineering and experimentation required to turn emerging AI capabilities and complex business problems into working prototypes, reusable technical patterns, and scalable solution concepts.
This individual maintains technical ownership from solution design through development, testing, evaluation, and handoff. The role works closely with Applied AI Solutions Partners, business subject-matter experts, Digital Technology, and the AI Platform team to ensure experiments are technically sound, responsibly developed, and structured for broader adoption when appropriate.
This is a hands-on builder role with broader enterprise influence. Success is measured not only by what this role builds, but by how effectively it helps functions redesign work, adopt repeatable AI-enabled practices, and learn how to extend solutions over time.
About the AI Lab: The GE Appliances AI Lab helps the company become a frontier firm by learning and experimenting faster than the market. The Lab tests emerging AI capabilities against real business problems, rapidly builds working prototypes, and converts what it learns into reusable technologies, methods, and capabilities that functions can adopt.
