"The AI Deployment Engineer will support CoorsTek's AI and automation strategy by building, deploying, and scaling practical AI-enabled solutions. This is a hands-on, developer-first role for someone with strong software development skills and experience delivering real applications, products, automations, or production solutions."
"Design, build, configure, test, deploy, and support solutions using approved enterprise AI, automation, application platforms, custom code, APIs, scripts, and integrations."
From Aug 2025 to Feb 2026 I was on the implementation team for Clay, the Moveworks assistant rolled out to CoorsTek worldwide. I'd be starting this job knowing CoorsTek systems already.
"Strong practical development experience using Python and/or TypeScript, including front-end, service-tier, API, automation, scripting, and integration work."
I founded RegPermit, an AI air permitting assistant. Python scripts are used in the ingestion of the regulations off EPA and state agency sites; TypeScript runs the app and its agent harnesses. Below is a clickable example of the tool.
"3-5 years of hands-on software development experience, with demonstrated experience shipping working code into business or operational environments."
I've built client apps at Protogenesis, learned SaaS implementation at CoorsTek, and military security satellite GIS at CACI. On the right is an automatic code documentation tool I made.
"Experience working with disciplined software development practices, including Git, branching, pull requests, code review, testing, deployment, documentation, and production support."
I ran full-stack CI/CD on SAFFIRE at CACI. I've also broken enough of my own work to respect version control.
"Support CoorsTek's citizen development approach by helping business-led builders work within approved patterns and by promoting viable solutions into supportable enterprise models."
I mentored the student engineers at my own firm and ran entrepreneurship workshops at Mines. Meeting someone at whatever they already built is the whole skill.
"Experience with... manufacturing systems, HMI/SCADA, PLC-adjacent workflows, or plant automation environments preferred."
I have an electrical engineering degree, so I understand the principles at play. Combined with my embedded code experience, I'm confident in my ability to master PLC automation.
"Experience with AI-assisted development tools, Azure-hosted applications, Databricks... Stay current on emerging AI tools and deployment patterns."
For a gut health monitor I deployed a HIPAA-compliant system on AWS, so containerized services and the cloud practices that come with holding health data are familiar ground. Azure I want to go deeper on but the core principles transfer.
"Refactor, harden, and scale prototypes, internally built tools, and business-led solutions into production-ready applications that can be supported within enterprise standards."
To the left is the first network test for DockVPN, an easy-to-set-up private business VPN. I start with scrappy prototypes and take them through to something that holds together at scale. The project site is dockvpn.com.
"We are an ITAR Regulated Company... This role requires approximately 40% travel both domestic/international."
US citizen, no sponsorship needed. I'm excited to travel onsite to plant visits, where the real requirements show up.
