WHAT YOU WILL DO As an AI Deployment Strategist, AI4Eng for Physics and Engineering in APAC, you are Mistral's forward-deployed operator on strategic enterprise accounts across automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, industrial equipment, and energy. You own the delivery of AI solutions for physics and engineering challenges end-to-end. Discovery, Scoping & Solution Design: - Run technical discovery sessions to understand business and engineering requirements. - Identify, qualify, and prioritize use cases aligned with the customer's strategic R&D and product-development challenges. - Translate business goals into a concrete AI roadmap and high-level solution architecture, validating feasibility with Product and Applied AI teams. - Build ROI models and business value propositions, and own scoping documents and SOW inputs. Delivery & Program Management - Own end-to-end delivery: discovery → design → build → deploy → adoption. - Set up the account operating model: governance, decision forums, and cadence. - Drive day-to-day execution: priorities, milestones, unblockers, and risk management. - Drive scope control and change management, ensuring the right artifacts are produced (design doc, runbook, eval plan, rollout plan, handover). - Bring knowledge of processes and regulations from the industries we serve (aerospace, semiconductor, automotive, industrial equipment, energy). Adoption, Value Realization & Expansion - Lead user testing, training, change management, and developer enablement. - Track value realization against agreed KPIs and report to executive sponsors. - Capture field learnings and feed product gaps and platform needs back to Product, Science, and Engineering.
