Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics
Experience developing and deploying machine learning or deep learning systems in production environments or experience working in LLM development, NLP, or AI-driven automation.
Proficiency in modern programming languages such as Python and C/C++ (JavaScript optional depending on your stack), with strong foundations in object-oriented design and software architecture.
2+ years of experience developing and deploying machine learning or deep learning systems in production environments or 2+ years working in LLM development, NLP, orAI-drivenautomation.
Solid understanding of data science, big-data workflows, and applied statistics; familiarity with signal-processing techniques is a plus.
Strong experience in major ML frameworks and toolchains (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace Transformers, Scikit-learn, XGBoost)
Demonstrated experience with transformer architectures, LLMs, AI agents, or models integrated with simulation workflows.
Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, and embedding optimization.
Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to thrive in a demanding, fast-paced work environment.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills and a willingness to collaborate cross-functionally with different teams.
What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics
Experience in automotive or physical system simulation domains.
Familiarity with co-simulation frameworks, physical modeling tools (e.g., Simulink, AMESIM), or automotive calibration workflows.
Knowledge of optimization techniques (e.g., PSO, GA, MDO) applied to AI-simulation or engineering workflows.
Experience with MLOps practices, including containerized deployment (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native model serving.
Experience building scalable ML systems or full-stack AI pipelines using modern frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Ray, cloud services).
Willingness to learn and continue developing knowledge in an up-and-coming field.
Visionary thinking: You identify and pursue novel AI/ML applications in engineering workflows.
Strategic ownership: You drive initiatives from concept to integration, influencing cross-org direction.
Cross-domain fluency: You connect simulation, embedded systems, and data science to deliver tangible values
This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.
This job is not eligible for relocation benefits. Any relocation costs would be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
