Greetings from Pattaya! I am here for a new gig. Can I (US Citizen) transfer my current "Visa Exemption" status directly to a Non-Immigrant B Visa once I get all of the required documents and authentications ???

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether a US citizen can convert their Visa Exemption status to a Non-Immigrant B Visa while remaining in Thailand, and the response suggested consulting their employer for clarity on paperwork and regional immigration office policies.

Your job should be the ones to answer this. They should know if the immigration office that serves their area allows it, and if they're willing or able to produce the large amount of paperwork required to convert inside the country. Most people are sent to a nearby Thai embassy or consulate outside of the country to apply because it requires much less paperwork.
