Job Summary

The Innovation Engineer role involves prototyping and evaluating emerging technologies and AI capabilities to reduce risks before product development. The position focuses on running time-limited proofs of concept with clear success criteria and delivering validated outcomes for further development.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and assess new technologies, platforms, frameworks, and AI relevant to the company’s products and markets.
• Evaluate technologies considering existing infrastructure, regulations, team skills, and costs.
• Maintain a documented list of technologies to pursue or exclude with justifications.
• Present technology assessments to leadership highlighting business opportunities, costs, and risks.
• Design and execute proofs of concept with defined questions, success criteria, and time limits.
