Leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to rapidly build creative prototypes in customer hackathons, solving critical pain points in planning, sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution.

• Agentic Process Transformation: Support our customers in achieving real ROI out of AI deployments at scale, enabling a fundamental shift from traditional, rule-based automation to the use of autonomous AI agents empowered by our Celonis Process Intelligence Platform (e.g., autonomous inventory rebalancing or intelligent shipment exception handling).

• Proof Projects: End-to-end execution of business-critical Proof-of-Value projects. This includes architecting and delivering secure, scalable LLM/agent systems with RAG, tools, and guardrails, while seamlessly integrating with enterprise ERPs (e.g., SAP), Quality Management Systems (QMS), and strict regulatory frameworks (FDA, EMA, GxP).

• Domain & Industry Leadership: Serve as the internal and external technical subject matter expert for the Life Sciences Supply Chain, scaling knowledge across the organization regarding pharmaceutical manufacturing and logistics processes.

• 5+ years of experience leading technical pre-sales and post-sales engagements specifically within Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, or MedTech supply chains. This includes defining AI roadmaps, building compelling ROI/TCO business cases, and guiding technical implementations through to value realization.

• Deep understanding of supply chain business processes native to Life Sciences (such as Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), Procure-to-Pay, Track & Trace, Cold Chain Management, or Quality Control/Batch Release) with the ability to translate high-level business needs into specific AI use cases.

• Expertise in generative AI techniques like RAG, few-shot learning, prompt engineering, multi-agent orchestration, multimodal understanding, or fine-tuning used to build high-impact use cases (e.g., intelligent chatbots for supplier collaboration, automated extraction of data from complex customs or quality documents).

• Solid knowledge of Python and common ML libraries (such as LangChain, pandas, pydantic, sklearn, PyTorch) as well as data engineering tools and technologies for handling massive, siloed supply chain datasets.

• Strong presentation skills to both internal and external stakeholders (including supply chain executives and IT leaders), whether leading technical whiteboarding sessions or formal readouts and demos.

• Bachelor’s Degree required; Master's Degree in computer science, supply chain management, engineering, mathematics, or related fields, or equivalent work experience preferred.

• Hands-on experience building agentic systems using LLM orchestration, RAG, function calling, and prompt engineering, while ensuring safety through rigorous evaluations suited for highly regulated (GxP) life sciences environments.

• Familiarity with life sciences supply chain data standards and systems (e.g., GS1 EPCIS for traceability, SAP APO/IBP, Kinaxis).

• Working knowledge of tools in the LLM ecosystem such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or other OSS packages.

• Experience in deploying and monitoring models at scale across major cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock, Azure AI, GCP Vertex).

We are looking for a Principal Value Engineer, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)—an industry expert who can bridge the gap between technical process mining, AI-driven automation, and strategic business outcomes.
