TL;DR · Senior Manager, Machine Learning Ops Engineering, Automotive

Senior Manager, Machine Learning Ops Engineering - Automotive will lead a high-performing engineering team within the Autonomous Driving organization to develop and operate large-scale, cloud-native data and machine learning pipelines. The role involves managing end-to-end systems for ingesting, processing, labeling, and validating multimodal sensor data, including camera, lidar, and radar inputs to support autonomous driving features from levels L2 through L4. You will define the technical vision and roadmap while overseeing architecture, execution, and operational excellence for training and evaluation datasets. The position requires expertise in Python, C++, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and data platforms. Candidates must possess a strong background in MLOps and experience with domains such as robotics, computer vision, or deep learning to solve complex problems involving high-volume sensor data processing and production-grade system reliability at scale.

What you'll do

  • Lead and grow a high-performing MLOps engineering team supporting autonomous driving technology from levels L2 through L4.
  • Own the architecture and operation of cloud-native pipelines for multimodal sensor data ingestion, processing, and validation.
  • Develop robust, scalable, and observable MLOps systems to support model training and ground truth generation at scale.
  • Translate customer and program requirements into reliable production systems by partnering with cross-functional teams.
  • Define the technical vision, roadmap, success metrics, and operational benchmarks for the MLOps engineering group.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and career development for senior engineers and managers.
  • Manage complex infrastructure across Python, C++, distributed systems, cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Overall engineering experience crafting and coordinating production-grade distributed systems.
  • 5+ years of engineering management experience leading teams to deliver large-scale systems.
  • Strong background in MLOps, data pipelines, and cloud-based distributed systems.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++ for system-level and performance-critical decisions.
  • Experience crafting and operating end-to-end data or ML pipelines with high reliability and observability.
  • Prior experience in Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, Computer Vision, Deep Learning, or GPU-accelerated computing.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills to align collaborators in a multi-functional organization.
