About this role
<p><strong>INNOVATION IS IMAGINING WHAT NO ONE ELSE CAN. </strong></p> <p>Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are at the cutting edge when it comes to shaping next-gen mobility in areas like automated driving. But it takes real intellectual leadership and expertise to identify and then harness the AI trends and technologies that will transform the way people travel for good.</p><p style="margin:0.0cm;line-height:normal;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"> </p> <p style="margin:0.0cm;line-height:normal;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif">Building autonomous driving systems at production scale takes more than strong model architectures. It requires robust end-to-end machine learning systems that perform reliably across edge cases, ODD boundaries, and global market conditions.</span></p> <p
