TL;DR · Staff AI Systems Engineer, Autonomous Driving

As a Staff AI Systems Engineer- Autonomous Driving, you will join a cross-functional team to set technical direction, influence architecture, and elevate engineering standards for autonomous driving technologies. You will lead the design and implementation of AI-focused systems engineering and testing frameworks, specifically focusing on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Your daily work involves architecting scalable failure triaging and automated Root Cause Analysis frameworks to process petabyte-scale simulation and vehicle logs. You will apply LLMs, VLMs, time-series anomaly detection, and causal inference to isolate failure modes across perception, planning, and control layers. Key technologies include Python, C++, ROS/ROS2, MCAP, Protobuf, and CAN logs, alongside distributed frameworks like PySpark, Ray, Databricks, and Kubernetes. You will integrate these automated diagnostics into SiL, HiL, and ViL cloud replay pipelines.

What you'll do

  • Architect and scale intelligent failure triaging and automated Root Cause Analysis frameworks for petabyte-scale logs.
  • Apply AI/ML methods 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.
  • Establish best practices for log data structures, automated analytics workflows, and vector search for failure retrieval.
  • Partner with autonomy software leads and cloud infrastructure teams to align toolsets and integrate automated diagnostics.
  • Guide the design, implementation, and evaluation of ADAS and Autonomous Driving technologies.
  • Set technical direction and engineering standards across multiple cross-functional teams.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s 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 experience building production-grade data pipelines, distributed execution frameworks, or testing infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience with big data structures, robotics logging formats (e.g., ROS/ROS2, MCAP, Protobuf, CAN logs), and cloud data storage.
  • Demonstrated experience applying LLMs/VLMs, sequence modeling, pattern recognition, or vector embeddings to log classification or automated root cause analysis (preferred).
  • In-depth understanding of autonomous driving software architectures including perception, sensor fusion, localization, motion planning, and vehicle control (preferred).
  • Experience with SiL, HiL, or cloud-based replay and simulation testing setups at scale (preferred).
