AbbVie's mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines and solutions that solve serious health issues today and address the medical challenges of tomorrow. We strive to have a remarkable impact on people's lives across several key therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology and neuroscience - and products and services in our Allergan Aesthetics portfolio.

The Technical Delivery Lead for Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) leads a small, high-velocity engineering team that embeds directly with frontline business partners across product development, manufacturing, Quality and Finance. Working side by side with scientists, operators, quality professionals and finance teams at our sites, this leader identifies critical business problems, then uses data science, AI and modern software engineering to design and ship working prototypes in weeks, not quarters.

What you'll do:

  • Serve as technical delivery lead for a portfolio of fast-paced FDE engagements, owning scope, architecture, technical risk, timelines, and outcomes from problem framing through prototype and handoff.
  • Lead, coach, and assign work to a team of forward deployed engineers, data scientists, and partner resources; set engineering standards, review designs and code, and build team capability.
  • Run short, iterative delivery cycles (e.g., discovery sprints, weekly demos) that move rapidly from hypothesis to a working solution in users’ hands.
  • Make clear build/buy/scale decisions and define the path from prototype to production with BTS platform, product, and support teams.
