AI/ML Engineer – LLM & Voice Pipeline

Luxoft; Ingolstadt; Vor Ort; EUR 70.000 - 110.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Luxoft is seeking an experienced AI/ML engineer to advance an in-vehicle voice assistant project using Azure OpenAI, LLMs, and edge inference. You will design and optimize RAG pipelines, integrate ASR/TTS, and craft production-grade prompts.

Requirements include 3+ years in production AI/ML, strong Python, hands-on LangChain/LangGraph, and experience with Azure OpenAI or OpenAI API. English B2+; German is a plus.

Qualifikationen

• 3+ years of hands-on AI/ML engineering in production environments.
• Strong Python skills; experience with LLM frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent.
• Practical experience building RAG systems (chunking strategies, embedding models, retrieval evaluation).
• Familiarity with Azure OpenAI Service or OpenAI API; prompt engineering best practices.
• Experience with at least one ASR engine (Whisper, Azure Speech, or equivalent) and a TTS system.
• English B2 or above.

Aufgaben

• Design, implement, and optimize RAG pipelines integrating Azure AI Search, vector stores, and LLM completion endpoints.
• Develop and maintain ASR and TTS integration modules, including audio pre- and post-processing using pyAudio and librosa.
• Create LLM prompt chains, evaluation frameworks, and safety/alignment guardrails for in-vehicle dialogue scenarios.
• Prototype AI capabilities such as few-shot adapters, intent classification, and empathic dialogue, then transition prototypes to production.
• Collaborate with Backend Engineers to develop the FastAPI/Kafka interface connecting the AI layer with the streaming infrastructure.
• Contribute to edge AI components including on-device inference, model quantization, and latency management for in-vehicle use.
• Monitor and enhance model quality metrics including BLEU, WER, CER, and faithfulness via continuous evaluation pipelines.
• Participate in code reviews with cross-functional teams, including customer ML engineers.

Jobbeschreibung

Project description

Our client is advancing its in-vehicle voice assistant into an intelligent, AI-powered companion. Since 2024, they have been incorporating large-language-model capabilities (Azure OpenAI / ChatGPT) into vehicles equipped with the MIB3 infotainment system, with new E³-architecture models featuring enhanced voice functions from the factory. The AIME (AI Model Engine) backend program supports this development over a multi-year timeline, addressing natural-language dialogue, empathic communication, and the complete cloud-edge data pipeline. DXC Luxoft serves as the end-to-end delivery partner, collaborating closely with the client’s engineers within a joint product team on the Azure platform (AKS, Azure OpenAI, Managed Identity, Azure Monitor, Azure DevOps).
