Lead AI Systems Engineer- Autonomous Driving

In this role you will operate as a Lead AI Systems Engineer setting technical direction across multiple teams influencing architecture and engineering standards and elevating technical capabilities across the organization.

We are seeking a Systems Engineer with strong leadership skills to build and enhance our AI-focused systems engineering and testing this role you will guide the design implementation and evaluation of our Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) technologies. You will serve as the technical lead for a cross-functional team integrating modern software development practices to help realize safe reliable self-driving vehicles and empower our global R&D teams.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and scale intelligent failure triaging and automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) frameworks capable of processing petabyte-scale simulation and real-world vehicle logs.
• Apply modern AI/ML methods (e.g. LLMs/VLMs time-series anomaly detection statistical pattern recognition and causal inference) to automatically isolate failure modes across perception planning control and vehicle platform layers.
• Integrate automated triaging into continuous integration regression testing and cloud replay pipelines (SiL/HiL/ViL) to streamline software release cycles and raise validation standards across engineering groups.
• Establish best practices for log data structures automated analytics workflows vector search/embeddings for failure mode retrieval and ML pipeline reliability.
• Partner directly with autonomy software leads validation engineers and cloud infrastructure teams to align toolsets and integrate automated diagnostics into day-to-day R&D workflows.

Qualifications :

• Masters degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science Computer Engineering Robotics Electrical Engineering or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5 years of progressive engineering experience in software development data analytics infrastructure or automated testing for autonomous vehicles robotics or complex distributed systems.
• 2 years of experience leading technical architecture setting engineering strategy or guiding technical direction across multiple engineering teams.
• Expert proficiency in Python and C with demonstrated experience building production-grade data pipelines distributed execution frameworks or testing infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience working with big data structures robotics logging formats (e.g. ROS/ROS2 MCAP Protobuf CAN logs) and cloud data storage.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience applying LLMs/VLMs sequence modeling pattern recognition or vector embeddings to log classification failure mode retrieval or automated root cause analysis.
• In-depth understanding of autonomous driving software architectures (perception sensor fusion localization motion planning vehicle control).
• Experience operating within SiL HiL or cloud-based replay and simulation testing setups at scale.
• Experience with distributed frameworks and data tools such as PySpark Ray Databricks/Snowflake Vector DBs Apache Airflow Kubernetes and AWS/GCP services.
