Job DescriptionAgilent inspires and supports discoveries that advance the quality of life by providing life science, diagnostic, and applied market laboratories worldwide with instruments, services, consumables, application, and both measurement and asset management expertise.The single point of contact in the pod for architecture, reuse, and quality; builds agents and evals into delivery. This is the engineering edge of the forward-deployed model: building working agentic systems inside real workflows, sitting with the users, learning the domain, and shipping into the tools the experts already live in.The defining discipline of the role is building agents on the AI platform: consuming certified data products, authoring skills against the registry, integrating through the MCP spine, promoting through eval gates, and ensuring governance.Responsible forArchitecture and build approach for the pod's use case: agents, RAG, orchestration patterns,



and the judgment to know which is appropriate; designs reviewed with the Head of Harness Engineering to stay consistent with reference patterns.Building on the harness plane as designed: skills authored as minimal, distinct, non-overlapping, independently testable capabilities in the registry; integration through the MCP / A2A spine rather than bespoke plumbing; agent identity and entitlements respected at every data product boundary.Quality, eval, and observability built into delivery from the first sprint using the shared eval harness: benchmark sets defined with the domain experts, regression gates wired into promotion, and production observability live before launch, not after the first incident.Risk-tier compliance in practice, including the GxP commit-point pattern on regulated use cases: agent chains operate freely, and any write to a validated record routes through the human-in-the-loop commit point.Engineering output to the platform: skills, orchestration patterns, and evaluation sets contributed back to the registry as
