Position Title: Forward Deployment Engineer Lead - Manufacturing

Position Type: Regular - Full-Time

Grade: Grade 06

Requisition ID: 44033

In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and passionate about creating exceptional work experiences - together. With a customer-first mindset, we make doing business with McCain easy.

About the role.

The FDE Manufacturing Lead establishes and maintains the standard of excellence for McCain’s Forward Deployed Engineering practice. Reporting to the VP, Artificial Intelligence, this role leads the development, deployment, and performance of the FDE community supporting McCain’s AI portfolio across Snacking, Manufacturing, Cross-functional, and Data and AI use cases.

This is a hands-on player-coach role. In addition to developing senior practitioners and managing the portfolio FDE pool, you will personally participate in selected AI engagements, helping teams translate complex business needs into scalable solutions and measurable outcomes. You will also partner with the FDEs supporting Commercial, Marketing, and Manufacturing to strengthen standards and practices without managing their day-to-day delivery.

In this hands-on capacity, you will design, build, test, and deploy agentic AI solutions and supporting tools that enable AI agents to reason, orchestrate workflows, interact with enterprise systems and data, and complete defined business tasks. You will help move these solutions from early prototypes into secure, scalable, production-ready capabilities.

What you’ll be doing.

Personally design, build, test, and deploy agentic AI solutions and reusable tools for selected Manufacturing and enterprise use cases
Develop AI agents and multi-agent workflows that combine reasoning, orchestration, enterprise data, knowledge sources, APIs, and business systems to execute defined tasks and support measurable business outcomes.
Build rapid prototypes and production-ready capabilities, working closely with AI Platform and Engineering and Knowledge Engineering to ensure solutions are secure, scalable, observable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture
Establish practical engineering patterns for agent evaluation, tool integration, human oversight, monitoring, failure handling, and continuous improvement, and embed those patterns into the broader FDE practice.
Establish and maintain McCain’s FDE skill standards, role definition, career pathways, and development practices.
Build and strengthen the FDE community through coaching, mentoring, calibration, and structured feedback.
Lead hiring, assignment, performance management, and professional development for the portfolio FDE pool.
Assign FDEs to portfolio clusters based on business priorities, practitioner capabilities, and individual development objectives.
Personally lead one or two selected portfolio engagements per quarter, modeling the delivery practices and outcome accountability expected across the FDE community.
Embed alongside FDEs in active use cases to provide in-the-moment coaching and strengthen execution.
Partner with the FDEs supporting Manufacturing to promote consistent practices and standards while respecting their ownership of delivery.
Collaborate with AI Platform and Engineering, Knowledge Engineering, AI Deployment and Enablement, and Use Case Governance and Operations leaders to enable effective execution.
Develop reusable FDE playbooks, engagement patterns, and secondment agreements, including clear accountability for priorities, deliverables, technical craft, and standards.
Represent the FDE practice with senior functional sponsors and executive leaders, helping resolve resource conflicts and advance business outcomes.
Improve FDE effectiveness, use-case throughput, solution adoption, and measurable business value across the portfolio.
Ensure all FDE-led engagements comply with McCain’s security, governance, risk-classification, and Responsible AI standards.

What you’ll need to be successful.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. An advanced degree is preferred.
At least 3 years of experience leading a practice or team of senior individual contributors.
At least 3 years of experience supporting Manufacturing business functions, including areas such as Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain, Production Planning, Quality Management, Continuous Improvement, Industrial Engineering, Plant Operations, or Operational Excellence.
Demonstrated hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying agentic AI solutions, AI agents, or AI-enabled workflow automation in complex business environments
Experience developing solutions that integrate large language models with enterprise data, knowledge systems, APIs, applications, and business workflows
Strong understanding of agentic AI engineering patterns, including tool use, orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, memory and context management, evaluation, observability, guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and failure handling.
Demonstrated ability to operate as a player-coach by delivering personally while developing the capabilities of others.
Experience establishing and maintaining high standards across a community of senior practitioners.
Ability to influence senior business sponsors, functional leaders, and engineering leaders without relying solely on formal authority.
Strong customer focus, executive presence, sound judgment, and comfort operating in ambiguous or rapidly evolving environments.
A demonstrated record of driving adoption and measurable business impact at scale, beyond technical delivery alone.
Strong commitment to ethical and responsible AI practices, information security, and enterprise governance.
Experience in the commercial, consumer packaged goods, food-service, consulting, or AI technology sectors is an asset.
Familiarity with McCain’s technology environment or experience developing forward-deployed practices within consulting firms or AI-native organizations is an asset.
Ability to travel to the point of work, including regular engagement with teams in Toronto, Chicago, and Gurgaon.

About the team.

The FDE Manufacturing Lead is part of McCain’s Artificial Intelligence organization and reports to the FDE Practice Manager. This role heavily influences the FDE pool supporting McCain’s AI portfolio, including Manufacturing clusters.

You will work closely with the FDEs supporting Manufacturing, as well as leaders across AI Platform and Engineering, Knowledge Engineering, AI Deployment and Enablement, and Use Case Governance and Operations. The role combines people leadership, practice ownership, executive partnership, and direct participation in selected AI-enabled business engagements.
