The Engineering Process Department is leading an AI-first digital transformation. We are seeking an Engineering Software Developer to design and develop intelligent applications and Copilot agents that enhance engineering workflows, optimize field service operations, and strengthen quality and compliance processes. This role operates at the intersection of software engineering, AI integration, and business process automation, contributing to a modular Power Platform ecosystem that supports enterprise-wide transformation.

Key Responsibilities

Copilot Agent Development & Orchestration:

• Architect and implement Copilot agents for task automation, chat-based assistance, and multi-agent collaboration.

• Design agentic systems for engineering-specific use cases such as design reviews, PLM change management, QA/QC tracking, and NCR resolution.

• Apply orchestration patterns—delegation, feedback loops, and collaboration—to ensure scalable and intelligent behavior across Power Platform apps.

• Use Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit to build enterprise-grade agents integrated with Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft services.

• Support agent lifecycle management, including training, evaluation, and continuous improvement.

Application Development & System Integration:

• Build custom business applications using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse to support internal and external stakeholders.

• Integrate AI outputs from platforms like Azure AI Foundry and JCI Enterprise AI to enhance agent intelligence and application functionality.

• Develop secure API integrations with PLM and ERP systems (e.g., Windchill, ThingWorx Navigate) to enable seamless data flow and workflow automation.

• Contribute to the modular Power Platform ecosystem with reusable components and shared services.

AI Adoption & Model Optimization:

• Evaluate and embed emerging AI technologies into operational workflows.

• Customize AI models to align with business goals and improve decision-making across engineering and service domains.

• Use success pattern mining and KPI data to improve agent recommendations and automation triggers.

Process Automation & Re-engineering:

• Identify automation opportunities using RPA tools and implement solutions to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.

• Lead business process improvement initiatives by mapping, redesigning, and optimizing workflows across engineering, QA/QC, and field service teams.

• Support transformation of legacy workflows, including document control and change management, into AI-enhanced processes.

Technical Excellence & Collaboration:

• Develop scalable, maintainable solutions using low-code platforms, ensuring rapid delivery and adaptability.

• Apply best practices in solution design, including modular architecture, reusable components, and performance optimization.

• Conduct peer reviews of app logic, flows, and data models to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment with enterprise standards.

• Document application logic, agent workflows, and integration patterns to support cross-functional collaboration and long-term sustainability.

• Contribute to training content and documentation for internal platforms, ensuring alignment with LMS tracking and compliance requirements.

What we look for

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, IT, or a related field.

• 6–9 years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on Microsoft platforms.

• Hands-on experience with Copilot Studio, Power Apps Platform, and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry.

• Deep understanding of agent orchestration, multi-agent systems, and task/chat-based agent design.

• Proficiency in Power Platform, SharePoint development, and RPA tools.

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and strong communication skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with Windchill PLM, ThingWorx Navigate, and CAD APIs (e.g., Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo).

• Proven ability to develop solutions for field service, QA/QC, NCR, and change management workflows.

• Experience building Copilot agents using frameworks like Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry.

• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit for integrating agents with Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft services.

• Strong background in Power Platform development, including Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse, with emphasis on modular architecture and reusable components.

• Experience integrating AI outputs from platforms such as Azure AI Foundry and JCI Enterprise AI into business applications.
