AI Specialist – Operational Digital Twin

Overview

AI Specialist – Operational Digital Twin

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support the Software Development Lead and Data & Architecture team in designing the AI Assistant architecture for the Operational Digital Twin, including selection and deployment of LLM models in an isolated environment
• Assist in preparing and curating training and grounding data (including documentation, schemas, geospatial and asset context) required for LLM fine‑tuning or domain adaptation, ensuring compliance with security and data-governance requirements
• Help implement, fine‑tune, and evaluate LLMs to support Digital Twin use cases (e.g., natural language querying of geospatial/asset data, explaining map views, guiding workflows, and answering “how-to” and operational questions) without any internet connectivity
• Support integration of the AI Assistant with the Digital Twin platform and enterprise systems, including design of prompt pipelines, tools/function-calling, and retrieval-augmented generation using internal data sources
• Assist in implementing monitoring, evaluation, and guardrails for AI Assistant behaviour (e.g., response quality, safety, hallucination reduction), and in troubleshooting issues related to accuracy, performance, and user experience
• Help prepare documentation and usage guidelines for the AI Assistant, support demonstrations and user-training sessions, and contribute to knowledge transfer and handover to client and operations teams
