Eclipse Automation delivers cutting-edge custom automated manufacturing solutions across multiple industries. We combine advanced automation expertise with digital innovation to create smart, efficient, and sustainable manufacturing systems. Our global network includes facilities in Canada, The United States and Hungary ensuring regional expertise and global strength.
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.

- 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
