Digital Solutions > Digital Development Platform > Autonomous Flows > AI/ML Chapter

At the core of the Data & AI organization, the AI/ML Chapter serves as the capability home for AI/ML, supporting craft excellence, skills development and scalable delivery practices across Vestas. With a global footprint spanning India and Denmark, the team partners closely with product owners and engineering teams to build and scale AI/ML solutions embedded in digital products across the value chain.

The chapter focuses on building and scaling AI/ML capabilities for high-value and autonomous flow use cases, providing consistent know-how across product areas, ensuring readiness for emerging paradigms such as LLMs and agentic AI, and enabling scalable delivery through a balanced mix of internal capability development and strategic partnerships. Through robust engineering rigor, data-centricity, and close business collaboration, the team advances AI/ML delivery practices and enables impactful solutions that bring visibility, optimization and innovation across the enterprise.

Responsibilities

As a senior member of the product team, you will partner with product owners, ML engineers, application developers and business SMEs to build and scale advanced GenAI and agent-based systems embedded in digital products. This role emphasizes reasoning-driven AI, self-directed execution and significant informal leadership to support broader organizational goals.

• Design, build and scale GenAI and agentic systems capable of reasoning, planning, and effectively executing complex tasks
• Build the design and delivery of end-to-end solutions leveraging LLMs, multi-agent workflows, memory and tool integration frameworks
• Develop intelligent workflows using techniques such as prompt engineering, RAG, context orchestration and function/tool calling
• Integrate GenAI capabilities into enterprise applications, enabling seamless, human-in-the-loop and professional decision-making
• Define and promote reusable design patterns, frameworks and engineering standards for agent-based and generative AI systems
• Own end-to-end delivery of GenAI initiatives while advising stakeholders on use case feasibility and responsible AI adoption balancing experimentation with production considerations such as performance, cost, reliability and governance
