Senior AI/ML Data Engineer

At APTIV we shape the future of mobility : we design, develop, and validate systems to improve safety and comfort in vehicles . Come and join the team of skilled development engineers to design, build and scale an MLOps infrastructure for L2++ autonomous driving systems operating in complex urban environments. In this role you will be responsible for an end-to-end ML platform architecture on AWS . The goal is to enabl e scalable training, validation, deployment, and observability of perception and behavioral models that meet automotive-grade reliability, safety, and performance standards. This role sits at the intersection of cloud operations, machine learning engineering, and drive automation systems. Let’s be honest: it requires deep technical leadership across ML training pipelines, infrastructure automation, and multi-region scalability.
