Lead ML & AI Engineer

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.
