Senior Principal Engineer - End-to-End AI Training Framework

Job Description

As the Senior Principal Engineer, E2E AI Training Framework for Autonomous Driving Systems, you will spearhead the development and optimization of the machinery that efficiently trains, optimizes, tests, and releases various E2E AI-based products (e.g. parking, driving, interior sensing) for different trim levels (entry, mid and high) within our L2+ ADAS stack. You will be responsible for defining and driving the technological roadmap for the AI machinery, ensuring its scalability, reliability, and performance. The ideal candidate must have prior industry experience in releasing AI-based L2+ systems, with a proven track record of translating innovative research into production-grade solutions. 

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive execution of the technical roadmap and strategy for the E2E AI machinery, including training pipelines, optimization techniques, simulation and MLOps tooling. 
• Oversee the design, development, and testing of the E2E AI machinery and its interaction with data sources, model repositories, and development targets. 
• Collaborate closely with other functional tech leads (e.g. data engineering, infrastructure) to define and drive the overall architecture of the AI machinery ecosystem. 
• Guide the set-up of a development framework that enables fast evaluation and integration of emerging E2E AI solutions. 
• Guide the transition from research prototypes to production-ready solutions, ensuring performance optimization on automotive-grade hardware and scalability. 
• Leverage your prior industry experience in launching AI-based L2+ systems to implement best practices in system validation, testing (SIL/HIL), and continuous improvement. 
• Mentor and lead a high-caliber team of AI scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. 

Qualifications
