Senior AI Architect – Senior Manager

About the Role

ADX is hiring a Senior AI Architect for a unique enterprise AI transformation role focused on process innovation and practical AI implementation across LG Electronics North America. This position will identify high-impact business opportunities, design scalable AI-enabled solutions, and build production-ready capabilities that improve how teams work across the company. The ideal candidate combines hands-on AI engineering skills, a strong software engineering foundation, and the ability to translate business needs into reliable enterprise-grade solutions.

The AI/AX team operates as internal forward-deployed engineers embedded directly with the company's business domain teams. In this model, this role works closely with each domain to learn its processes deeply, reimagine legacy workflows into future-state AI-enabled solutions, and deliver them hands-on. Strong people skills and product management instincts are essential to gather requirements, build trust, and translate business needs into practical, high-impact solutions.

Responsibilities

• Drive enterprise AI transformation initiatives from opportunity discovery through solution design, implementation planning, and measurable business adoption.
• Design and build AI-enabled workflows and agent-based solutions that support business process improvement, decision support, and operational automation across enterprise functions.
• Design scalable AI and data solution architectures that connect enterprise systems, modern data platforms, APIs, and analytics workflows into reliable production capabilities.
• Partner with business stakeholders across business units, supply chain, eCommerce, marketing, legal, finance, and related functions to translate business processes into AI-enabled workflows, data models, and software solutions.
• Create AI transformation artifacts including capability roadmaps, solution blueprints, intake and prioritization frameworks, implementation plans, and executive-ready progress reporting.

Requirements

• 8+ years combined experience across software engineering, applied AI/ML, data engineering, or enterprise architecture, with a strong record of delivering production-quality technical solutions.
• Strong coding skills in Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and SQL.
• Hands-on experience building LLM-based applications or agent systems, including prompt/context engineering, orchestration, and tool-use design.
• Solid software engineering foundation, including API design, backend service development, cloud-native architecture, system integration, testing discipline, and maintainable code practices.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business problems into scoped AI and software solutions, and to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to business and executive stakeholders.
• Strong people skills and product management ability to embed with business domain teams, learn their processes quickly, and imagine future-state designs that replace legacy workflows with AI-enabled solutions.
• Experience designing and implementing internal AI applications, workflow automation, or AI-enabled business process solutions in enterprise environments.
• Proven experience driving multiple concurrent projects with engineers and cross-functional contributors, including setting direction, managing execution, resolving blockers, and ensuring delivery accountability.

Preferred Qualifications

• Domain knowledge in SCM, sales forecasting, eCommerce, marketing, consumer electronics, appliances, retail, or another B2B/B2C hybrid enterprise is a plus.
• Experience setting up ontologies or enterprise knowledgebases for AI-enabled business applications is a major plus.
• Experience developing, maintaining, and releasing production enterprise-grade AI applications, including RAG pipelines or knowledge graph-based solutions, is preferred.
• Ability to prepare clear, well-structured materials and present project updates, proposals, and recommendations effectively to senior leadership.
• Understanding of big data concepts and practical data science skills is a plus.
• Experience with multi-agent orchestration, AI chat experiences, guardrails, model evaluation, or fine-tuning is nice to have.
• Fluent bilingual proficiency in Korean and English, written and spoken, sufficient for executive-level business communication and live HQ coordination.
