About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect, develop, and deploy end-to-end agentic full-stack Generative AI (GenAI) applications that solve complex real-world problems, with a specific focus on improving engineering challenges and inefficiencies.
Design and implement robust, scalable data science and Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) pipelines primarily within cloud environments like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), ensuring efficient deployment and maintenance of AI solutions.
Lead the integration of new cloud technologies and AI tools (e.g., Vertex AI) into our workflows, continuously evaluating their potential and articulating their business value to drive innovation and efficiency.
Develop intuitive and responsive front-end user interfaces that enable seamless interaction with agentic AI systems and effectively translate complex outputs into actionable insights.
Acquire a deep understanding of vehicle engineering problems, translating them into appropriate mathematical representations and AI/ML solutions (classification, prediction, intelligent automation).
Ensure the overall quality and integrity of data and solutions throughout the development lifecycle, from data collection and cleaning to model deployment.
