AI Architect - Atlas Copco Sweden

As AI becomes a key enabler across the Industrial Technique Business Area, we are looking for an AI Architect to help shape, challenge, and guide our technology landscape.

This is a technical leadership role — not focused on business development, but on making AI work securely, efficiently, and effectively across our organization.

Your Role

You will collaborate closely with our AI business managers, divisional and group AI teams, and IT experts to ensure we make the right technology choices, implement secure scalable solutions, and leverage the full potential of the tools and capabilities we already have.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a technical enabler – provide architecture guidance and technical insight to ensure successful and sustainable AI implementations across divisions.
• Define standards and policies where applicable
• Support AI business managers with technology choices, vendor assessments, and strategic recommendations.
• Challenge and review AI solution designs proposed by consultants or partners; identify opportunities for in-house development and re-use were beneficial.
• Ensure security, compliance, and robustness of all AI solutions in alignment with Atlas Copco’s standards and policies.
• Boost AI awareness – promote knowledge sharing, re-use of existing solutions, and best practices across the organization.
• Stay on top of industry developments – continuously follow AI technology trends and assess their relevance and potential for Industrial Technique applications.
• Translate technology into business understanding – communicate effectively with senior management, making complex AI topics clear, relevant, and actionable.
• Collaborate across teams – contribute to:
  - Divisional AI overview meetings (sharing best practices)
  - The Group AI alignment meeting
  - The Industrial Technique AI council (which you will help establish and lead)

We are an industrial manufacturing company dedicated to enabling smart factories through advanced solutions in tightening, riveting, dispensing, and quality assurance processes, among others. In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders — including Operations, R&D, Logistics, HR, and Finance — across all six divisions of our Industrial Technique business area. Our teams are spread across more than 15 global locations and serve customers in over 180 countries worldwide.

Location: Preferably Stockholm, Sweden. Other possible location is Frankfurt area in Germany.
We have a hybrid workplace. Occasional travel is part of the role.
