AI Engineer - Automotive AI Systems
AI Frameworks
Design and implement end-to-end AI frameworks for deep learning models — perception, NLP, generative AI — covering accuracy, robustness, latency, and functional safety metrics across automotive deployment environments.
Build automated evaluation pipelines for LLM-based features including hallucination detection, response quality scoring, prompt regression testing, and adversarial input coverage. Ensure every model update is tested before it reaches a vehicle.
Build and curate evaluation datasets and benchmarks purpose-built for automotive AI use cases — voice command recognition, diagnostic Q&A, sensor fusion output validation, and edge-case scenario coverage.
Leverage LLMs to automatically generate test cases, test data, and expected-result specifications directly from system requirements — reducing manual test authoring and increasing coverage systematically.
Production Monitoring & Drift Detection
Develop model monitoring systems that detect performance degradation, distribution shift, and drift in AI features operating in both test environments and production vehicles.
CI/CD Integration
Embed AI model validation into existing test bench infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines — making automated regression testing a standard gate for every ML model update and software release.
Root Cause & Quality Analysis
Apply statistical methods and ML techniques to test results to identify failure patterns, root causes, and quality trends — and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations for engineering teams.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- A minimum of 3 years in ML/AI development; with at least a minimum of 1 year focused on model evaluation, testing, or validation
- Strong Python proficiency and hands-on experience with testing frameworks (pytest, Robot Framework, or equivalent)
- Deep experience evaluating deep learning models — metrics design, dataset curation, bias analysis, regression testing
- Practical knowledge of LLM evaluation techniques: BLEU, ROUGE, LLM-as-judge, human-in-the-loop approaches
- Experience with ML experiment tracking and pipeline orchestration (MLflow, Weights & Biases, Kubeflow, or equivalent)
- CII/CD experience (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) for automated test execution at scale
- Ability to communicate complex AI validation results clearly to cross-functional engineering and leadership audiences
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with simulation-based testing or digital twin environments
- Knowledge of automotive safety standards — ISO 26262, SOTIF/ISO 21448 — applied to AI systems
- Adversarial robustness testing, out-of-distribution detection, or uncertainty quantification for neural networks
- Familiarity with automotive test toolchains (dSpace, Vector CANoe, NI VeriStand)
- Proven ability to collaborate across time zones with global, cross-disciplinary engineering teams
