Agentic AI is reshaping how software gets built and delivered — and a new kind of engineer, the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), sits at the center of that shift. In this 2-hour introductory workshop from Solix Academy, you’ll get a fast, practitioner-led view of what's changing in the industry, why agentic systems are different from traditional AI applications, and what the FDE role actually looks like in practice — from building agentic workflows to deploying them in real client environments.
This workshop is the starting point of a deeper journey. It sets the stage for Solix Academy’s full 40-hour Agentic AI & FDE program — a comprehensive path covering hands-on development, applied labs, and a capstone experience designed to take you from concept to job-ready FDE skills. Attend the workshop to decide if the full program is right for you, meet the instructors, and get your questions answered live before you commit.
