What's the role?:As a Lead AI/ML Engineer and member of our team, you will work at the intersection of AI/ML and the various NDS mapping products. You will dive deep into how the real world is captured, interpreted, and transformed into the digital maps that go into vehicles—enabling advanced navigation and autonomous driving. Additionally 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.
Who are you?:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field
  • Strong development experience in Python
  • Experience in machine learning engineering, applied ML, data engineering, or backend systems with ML components.
  • Proven experience building end-to-end ML systems
  • Strong understanding of ML algorithms, deep learning, data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
  • Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases
  • Spark/Flink or other distributed data processing systems
  • AWS (S3, EMR, Lambda, SageMaker or similar ML platforms) is a plus
  • Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, Jenkins
  • Experience with MLOps tooling and practices is a strong advantage.
  • Able to translate business requirements into scalable ML system designs.
Preferred Experience
  • Working with map data formats (NDS, GIS, RDF, GDF), HD lane models, or location-based datasets.
  • Experience with ETL pipelines, data transformation, and large-scale data engineering.
  • Deep understanding of building high-precision map or routing models.
