The Prompt Engineer will ensure UTA’s AI tools deliver clear, accurate, and user‑friendly experiences that make automation simple and effective. This role combines design expertise, content awareness, and AI skills to create prompts and behaviors that improve administrative efficiency and support faculty and staff adoption. The AI Interaction designer uses knowledge of Large Language Model architectures, prompt engineering, Python and APIs to fulfill solution development.

• Creates intuitive AI‑driven interactions—such as chatbots and voice assistants—that prioritize a seamless and effective user experience. Applies principles of trust, transparency, and explainable AI to ensure ethical, user‑centered design.
• Develops and refines prompts for large language models (LLMs) to generate accurate and relevant outputs. Conducts testing and iterative improvements to optimize LLM performance. Leverages expertise in machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and multimodal AI to enhance prompt effectiveness.
• Builds prototypes of AI‑driven interfaces to test and demonstrate functionality. Conducts usability testing to validate clarity, effectiveness, and user‑friendliness, then analyzes feedback and data to iteratively refine designs.
• Applies knowledge of LLM architecture, token economy, and prompt engineering techniques. Uses Python, APIs, and version control tools (Git) to implement scalable AI solutions, and maintains and optimizes them for reliability, performance and long‑term scalability.
• Incorporates the full software development life cycle to develop clear and comprehensive documentation for all solutions.
• Collaborates closely with cross‑functional teams—OIT, data custodians, developers, and product managers—to ensure AI projects align with strategic goals, while staying current with emerging AI technologies.
• Ensures all AI solutions comply with federal, state, and university policies and legal requirements concerning accessibility, privacy, and ethical standards.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
