About this role
What you will do In this role, you operate at the intersection of innovation, technology, and applied AI. You translate complex challenges into concrete, validated use cases and early-stage concepts, working closely with researchers, customers, and end users. You analyse complex problems and workflows, translating them into a clear scope and direction for AI-driven (prototype) development projects. You collaborate closely with researchers, customers, and end users to identify high-value AI use cases , turning real-world challenges into concrete, feasible opportunities. You structure and formalize use cases by defining requirements, specifications, constraints, data needs, and success criteria , ensuring alignment across teams and reducing ambiguity. You actively contribute to use case validation , monitoring research progress against defined specifications and evaluating outcomes at key milestones and completion. You identify and engage relevant stakeholders and gather their needs through interviews, workshops, and co-creation sessions. You stay up to date with AI and technology trends and translate them into new opportunities, with a focus on domains such as: Digital Twinning AI for Semicon AI for Chip Applications HW/SW Co-design You facilitate workshops (e.g. ideation, Voice of the Customer, concept validation) and synthesize insights from multiple sources to support decision-making. You act as a connector between research, engineering, and application domains, contributing to knowledge sharing and cross-team alignment. Who you are You hold a master’s degree combining technology/engineering with innovation, and have at least 3 years of relevant experience. You have a strong interest in AI or proven experience in AI-related projects, and are motivated to deepen your expertise in emerging AI paradigms. You are able to define, structure, and validate AI use cases in collaboration with researchers and stakeholders in an early-stage R&D environment. You have experience translating real-world challenges into structured problem statements and actionable innovation trajectories. You are empathetic, analytical, and a strong communicator. You identify and align the needs and goals of diverse stakeholders, synthesize complex inputs into a shared understanding, and translate them into clear requirements, plans, and communications. You collaborate effectively across disciplines and act as a translator between technical teams and application domains. You demonstrate strong analytical and abstract thinking and maintain structured documentation. You bring an application- and customer-oriented mindset into research and innovation activities. You are comfortable facilitating workshops and co-creation sessions with technical teams and stakeholders.
