Position Summary

As a Principal AI Engineer within Bristol Myers Squibb’s AI Accelerator program, you will lead a small, cross-functional pod to design and deliver generative AI solutions that transform core business processes across Commercialization, R&D, Manufacturing, and Enabling Functions. You will act as a player-coach—spending roughly 60% of your time hands-on in technical architecture, system and solution design, and building cloud-native GenAI applications, and 40% leading and developing your team. You will own one to two 12-week Accelerator projects at a time, shaping project charters, guiding technical decisions, and delivering AI-powered solutions using modern LLM, ML, and Cloud services and coding agents.
