• Transition AI models from research to production by building robust, scalable MLOps pipelines and infrastructure.
• Work with real-time, large-scale vehicle data , including telemetry and sensor data, to train and validate models for perception, prediction, and in-car user experiences.
• Optimize models for resource-constrained environments using tools like OnNX and TF Lite to ensure efficient deployment across vehicles.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (including software and hardware engineers) to integrate AI solutions into vehicle systems already deployed in over 5 million vehicles.
• Conduct rigorous testing and validation of AI models to ensure the safety, reliability, and continuous improvement of deployed systems.
• Contribute to the development of AI infrastructure and tools that support the continuous training and monitoring of production models.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in productionizing AI/ML models, specifically in high-performance or resource-constrained environments, and a passion for the automotive industry.

• Proven experience in developing, deploying, and maintaining AI/ML models in a professional or production environment.
• Deep expertise in machine learning and deep learning frameworks ( TensorFlow, PyTorch ).
• Strong programming proficiency in Python .
• Practical experience with MLOps practices, model optimization, and deployment pipelines.
• Familiarity with inference formats for resource-constrained edge devices (e.g., OnNX, TF Lite ) is highly desirable.
• A background in processing and analyzing large-scale, complex datasets, ideally time-series or sensor data.

Join an established, well-funded company ($110M+ in funding) that is a proven leader in the rapidly evolving software-defined vehicle space, offering high impact and competitive compensation.

• Highly Competitive Salary: Base salary ranging from $225,000 - $300,000 , commensurate with experience.
• High Impact: Opportunity to work on technology already in production across millions of vehicles globally.
• Dynamic Environment: Be part of a high-growth company at the forefront of automotive AI and software innovation.
