Lead ML & AI Engineer
Responsibilities
As a Lead AI/ML Engineer you will lead the design and development of production-grade machine learning models, pipelines, and services that power NDS HD Live Maps, ADAS and IVI maps including automated data ingestion. Your responsibilities span the entire AI/ML engineering lifecycle. Furthermore you will:
- Provide technical leadership in designing, developing, and deploying ML solutions used to create high-definition, ISA and ADAS maps.
- Own and drive end-to-end ML system architecture, including data preprocessing, model training, inference pipelines, deployment, monitoring, and scaling.
- Lead innovation and develop models based on computer vision, NLP, deep-learning and machine learning
- Build systems using Agentic AI, Generative AI, and foundational ML techniques.
- Build ML systems that are scalable, reliable, reproducible, and optimized for production environments (on-cloud or in-vehicle).
- Implement MLOps practices: CI/CD for ML, model versioning, feature stores, drift detection, experimentation frameworks.
- Own one or more ML or data components within the broader mapping/routing ecosystem.
- Collaborate with platform and backend teams to integrate ML outputs into map compilation workflows.
- Work on feature requirements, model behavior, accuracy expectations, and performance characteristics.
- Conduct code reviews, architecture reviews, and share best practices in ML engineering.
- Champion efficient, reusable, high-quality code; drive continuous improvement in ML development processes.
