Principal AI Engineer

Job Title: Principal AI Engineer Company: Analog Job Category: Machine Learning Roles & Responsibilities: Analog is looking for a Principal AI Engineer to lead AI capability across delivery, from model selection and evaluation through to guardrails and human in the loop design. You will set the standard for responsible AI at Analog, and make sure AI tooling is embedded into day to day engineering workflows rather than bolted on at the end. * Lead model selection and evaluation for AI capability across delivery teams, matching the model to the operational need. * Design guardrails and human in the loop workflows that keep AI outputs safe, explainable, and trusted by operators. * Own the technical roadmap for AI capability within Hive, and prioritise work against measurable outcomes. * Partner with the principal solution architect to make sure AI components fit cleanly into the wider platform architecture. * Set responsible AI standards for the organisation, covering evaluation, bias, safety, and human oversight. * Embed AI tooling into day to day engineering workflows, and support teams in adopting it well. * Stay ahead of the evolving AI landscape, and bring back practical recommendations rather than hype. * Represent Analog's approach to responsible AI with clients, partners, and regulators where required. About Analog Analog builds Hive, a digital twin platform that connects physical environments to AI and sensors, enabling defence and government customers to monitor, simulate, train, and command across real world estates and synthetic environments. We are a fast moving, mission driven team working on programmes that sit at the intersection of national digital transformation, modern warfare, and advanced technology. Our work matters, and we move with the urgency that reflects it. This is a full time role based in Abu Dhabi, working closely with engineering and product leadership.
