The Position

The AI Business Analyst will serve as the strategic bridge between business stakeholders and global technology teams, translating real-world business processes into AI-native solutions that drive measurable impact. This role blends deep curiosity about how work gets done with a strong focus on rapid, data-driven prototyping and deployment.

Eclipse Automation is shaping the future of custom automation through a multi-year digital transformation initiative leveraging OpenUSD, NVIDIA Omniverse, and enterprise AI. The ideal candidate has a keen understanding of business operations and analytics to support data-driven decision making — someone who instinctively reaches for AI tools first, identifies inefficiencies, understands data security requirements.

What You'll Be Doing

• Discover and map: Step into any department to observe day-to-day operations, interview stakeholders, and map current-state processes with an emphasis on where decisions are made, handoffs occur, and repetitive work accumulates.
• Identify high-value opportunities: Analyze process data and metrics to pinpoint inefficiencies, cost drivers, compliance risks, and areas where AI and automation can deliver the greatest return.
• Rapid prototyping: Move beyond static artifacts—quickly prototype AI-driven solutions using off-the-shelf models, low-code tools, and in-house platforms. Build working demos in hours to validate concepts with users.
• Define pragmatic requirements: Translate findings into clear, prioritized functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and success metrics that product and engineering teams can execute against.
• Design human-centered solutions: Ensure AI enhances human work—streamline decision support, automate repetitive tasks, and surface insights so people can work faster and make better choices. –
• Collaborate across functions: Work closely with data team, UX designers, and operations leaders to iterate solutions, monitor outcomes, and scale proven pilots enterprise-wide
• Measure and optimize: Establish baselines, track KPIs, and run experiments to quantify efficiency gains, cost savings, and user adoption; refine models and processes based on results
• Governance and ethics: Embed responsible AI practices—data privacy, bias mitigation, explainability, and auditability—into solution designs and deployment plans.
• Risk mitigation: Identify technical risks and their impact on the project and mitigate their effects through proactive planning and contingency design.
• Change management: Lead change management initiatives to ensure adoption of new processes, tools, and standards; design communication plans, training materials, and feedback loops to sustain behavioral and operational change.

Deliverables

• User permissions matrix and data security implementations
• Opportunity assessments with quantified ROI estimates
• Rapid prototypes and working demos demonstrating AI-powered workflows
• Functional requirements, acceptance tests, and rollout plans
• KPI dashboards tracking efficiency, cost, quality, and adoption
• Playbooks for scaling and maintaining AI-native processes

Leadership

• Comfortable across domains — operations, finance, product, support — and skilled at tailoring solutions to local constraints and scale requirements
• Demonstrates strong verbal and written communication skills
• Promotes positive relationships between departments and with partners, customers, vendors, and distributors
• Recommends and administers policies and procedures that enhance operations and support continuous improvement
• Ability to work in a team environment and actively participate in group meetings
• Maintains good corporate citizenship in support of Eclipse's corporate vision
• Ensures all business activities are performed with the highest ethical standards and in compliance with the Eclipse Automation Inc. Code of Conduct
• Fosters a culture reflective of the core values of the business
• Adheres to the Eclipse Project Operating Policy
