Job Overview:

This position is part of the Collins Digital Technology AI organization, supporting the company's mission to develop and scale AI capabilities responsibly, securely, and strategically across the enterprise. The AI Solution Architect serves as a trusted technical advisor to internal business customers across Collins, guiding the identification, evaluation, and implementation of AI-enabled Enterprise AI solutions. 

In this role, you will lead use case assessments, match business needs to existing enterprise capabilities or rigorously evaluated vendor solutions, consult on proposed AI initiatives being designed and developed by other teams, and serve as a steward of corporate Responsible AI, Cybersecurity, Legal, and Privacy policies. You will also drive enterprise alignment to prevent duplicative investments, promote reuse of shared AI platforms, and ensure a balanced approach to cost, performance, and technology maturity. 

What You Will Do 

Use Case Evaluation & Solution Advisory 

• Partner with internal business customers across Collins strategic business units and central functions to understand AI use case requirements, assess feasibility, and translate business needs into solution options with clearly articulated tradeoffs. 

• Evaluate use cases against the existing enterprise AI capability portfolio, recommending proven internal platforms, tools, and services to accelerate delivery and avoid redundant development. 

• Assess commercially available vendor AI tools, platforms, and services as candidate solutions; conduct structured capability evaluations including technical fit, security posture, integration complexity, data governance implications, cost modeling, and vendor viability. 

• Consult on AI solutions proposed by business unit and functional teams, providing architecture guidance, risk identification, and recommendations for alignment with enterprise standards before investment is committed. 

• Produce written assessments, business cases, and recommendation reports that synthesize technical findings into actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

Enterprise AI Strategy & Governance 

• Drive alignment of proposed AI initiatives with enterprise AI strategies, architecture standards, and technology roadmaps to avoid proliferation of overlapping capabilities and fragmented investments. 

• Champion the use of enterprise and tools as the preferred delivery path before recommending third-party or custom development. 

• Maintain awareness of the enterprise AI capability inventory and assist in communicating available solutions to internal customers to accelerate adoption. 

• Collaborate with Collins Digital Architecture, Enterprise Services, Cybersecurity, Data Governance, and Procurement teams to ensure proposed AI solutions meet enterprise standards for security, data classification, integration, and vendor management. 

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of use case evaluation frameworks, solution intake processes, and enterprise AI standards documentation. 

Responsible AI & Risk Management 

• Apply RTX's Responsible AI framework to evaluate proposed use cases and solutions, identifying risks related to bias, fairness, transparency, explainability, human oversight, and data privacy. 

• Assess vendor AI product documentation, AI transparency reports, and contractual representations to validate claims and identify gaps or misrepresentations. 

• Identify technical, operational, ethical, regulatory, and reputational risks in proposed AI initiatives; develop risk findings and recommend mitigations, conditions of approval, or denial where appropriate. 

• Prepare structured approval or denial recommendations with supporting rationale for review by the Collins Lead Enterprise AI Officer.
