About the role

Role focused on building on-device intelligence for Android Automotive, owning the end-to-end lifecycle of embedded ML systems to ensure models meet real-world constraints (latency, thermal, safety) on AAOS-powered vehicles.

Responsibilities

  • Deploy and run production-grade ML inference and learning systems on Android Automotive (AAOS)
  • Implement on-device multimodal LLMs, including schema design and safe dispatch to local vehicle APIs
  • Integrate models using TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, or specialized vendor SDKs
  • Profile and optimize models for strict latency, memory, power, and thermal budgets
  • Instrument runtime performance across CPU, GPU, and NPU acceleration layers
  • Design safety boundaries and guardrails for model outputs, including tool-call allowlists and fallback logic
  • Interface directly with vehicle signals, sensors, and system services using C++ and JNI

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 3+ years of experience shipping ML inference on embedded, mobile, or automotive platforms
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and experience with native Android integration (JNI)
  • Expertise in model optimization techniques such as quantization, pruning, and compilation
  • Experience integrating LLM function calling or tool execution with structured outputs
  • Hands-on experience with Android system services or Android Automotive OS (AAOS)
  • Deep understanding of edge constraints including real-time behavior and memory pressure
