Senior Platform Engineer (f/m/d) for LoB & Industry Content Integration — Data Science (Physical AI)
Why This Role Stands Out
As a Senior Platform Engineer at SAP, you'll design and operate cutting-edge knowledge graph systems, directly impacting the advancement of their Physical AI platform by translating complex industry knowledge into scalable infrastructure. This role is ideal for experienced data scientists and engineers with a passion for knowledge engineering and a desire to lead technical discussions and mentor others within a globally collaborative and accountable team. Embrace this opportunity to own a critical component of AI innovation and contribute to SAP's renowned reputation.
Quick Overview
Job Description
What you'll build
You will independently design and operate the knowledge graph systems that encode industry-specific and domain-specific knowledge for the Physical AI platform. You will work closely with cross-functional teams — including Physical AI engineers, product teams, and domain experts — to translate vertical knowledge requirements into scalable, reliable knowledge infrastructure, provide technical documentation and best-practice guidance, and mentor the engineers who depend on this layer.
What you'll bring
You bring strong expertise in data science and knowledge engineering with hands-on experience building industry-specific and domain-specific knowledge graphs. The ability to design scalable knowledge infrastructure, balance quality with delivery speed, and apply rigorous data modeling principles is required. Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to lead technical discussions and mentor others round out the profile.
Where you belong
You will take ownership of the knowledge infrastructure that enables Physical AI to function within specific industry contexts, acting as a technical reference point for data science and engineering colleagues alike. Collaboration across global teams is expected: sharing expertise, contributing to capability improvements, and raising data and engineering standards together. Accountability is core to how this team operates. If you want genuine ownership of the knowledge layer that gives Physical AI its industry intelligence — and the responsibility that entails — this is the right role.
