Job description

Role Overview:

Lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI and machine learning solutions for automotive R&D, focusing on production-grade AI for vehicle development, simulation, manufacturing quality, and digital twins. Mentor engineers and collaborate with CAE, CAD, manufacturing, and data platform teams to deliver end-to-end AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and validate impactful AI/ML solutions for automotive engineering and manufacturing use cases.
Design and implement AI surrogate models using Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNNs) to augment physics-based CAE.
Architect and deploy scalable cloud-based AI systems on AWS/Azure, ensuring compliance with enterprise governance.
Manage the full AI lifecycle: data ingestion, feature engineering, training, deployment, and monitoring.
Implement MLOps and GenAIOps best practices, including versioning, drift detection, CI/CD, and traceability.
Create agentic AI solutions for CAE workflows and support ETL activities related to ADC data.
Establish design standards, ensure code quality, and document processes for reuse and auditability.
Mentor and guide mid-level and junior engineers.

Qualifications & Skills

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
8+ years of experience developing and deploying ML/AI systems; 3+ years in production environments.
Hands-on expertise with graph neural networks (GCNNs, GNNs), advanced Python skills, and familiarity with C++/Java.
Proficiency with ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn.
Experience deploying AI on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), with knowledge of containers and MLOps tools.
Strong foundation in statistics, optimization, and numerical methods; experience with CAE or physics-informed ML is a plus.
Prior automotive or engineering experience is advantageous.

Work Environment:

Primarily office-based with potential hybrid options; occasional travel and overtime may be required to support project milestones.
