Site Forward Deployed Engineer

Job Purpose: This is a new strategic role aimed at providing on-site technology expertise, leadership, product engagement, and delivery support for GSK’s key manufacturing sites. The role acts as the interface between local business stakeholders and global digital product teams. It embeds directly into the site and business teams to rapidly translate high-priority Smart Manufacturing and AI opportunities into working Proof of Concept (PoC), Proof of Value (PoV), and Minimum Viable Product (MVP). As the technical specialist you will apply AI-native engineering methods to validate business value, technical feasibility and governance requirements to provide evidence-based stop-or-continue recommendations, through to proven solutions to product teams (for production scale-up and lifecycle management).

Key Responsibilities:

• Embed with strategic GSC sites and business teams to understand operational challenges, workflows, data, constraints, and high-value opportunities.
• Translate priority Smart Manufacturing, AI, Data and Digital opportunities into clearly framed, measurable use cases and executable technical solutions.
• Design, build and validate working PoCs, PoVs and MVPs using real site data, systems and workflows, with delivery measured in days or weeks rather than extended discovery cycles.
• Provide hands‑on engineering across AI, data, integration, applications and automation, using AI‑assisted development and agent‑based workflows where appropriate.
• Make evidence‑based continue, adapt or stop recommendations based on demonstrated business value, technical feasibility, adoption potential, risk and scalability.
• Incorporate GSK requirements for Code Orange, Responsible AI, cybersecurity, data governance, privacy, GxP and architecture governance from the start of each engagement.
