Senior AI Systems Architect for Autonomous Driving

Bosch Group; Sunnyvale (CA); On-site; USD 185,000 - 215,000; Full time

Job summary

Bosch Group in Sunnyvale is seeking a Senior AI Systems Engineer to guide the design and direction of AI-driven ADAS and autonomous driving systems. You will influence architecture across multiple teams, elevating capabilities for safe, reliable self-driving functionality.

Lead cross-functional efforts to integrate AI/ML methods, data pipelines, and cloud replay testing within SiL/HiL/ViL pipelines, shaping scalable engineering standards and robust diagnostics.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5+ years of progressive engineering experience in software development, data analytics infrastructure, or automated testing for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or complex distributed systems.
• 2+ years of experience leading technical architecture, setting engineering strategy, or guiding technical direction across multiple engineering teams.
• Expert proficiency in Python and C++, with demonstrated experience building production-grade data pipelines, distributed execution frameworks, or testing infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience working with big data structures, robotics logging formats (e.g., ROS/ROS2, MCAP, Protobuf, CAN logs), and cloud data storage.

Responsibilities

• Architect and scale intelligent failure triaging and automated Root Cause Analysis (RCA) frameworks capable of processing petabyte-scale simulation and real-world vehicle logs.
• Apply modern AI/ML methods (e.g., LLMs/VLMs, time-series anomaly detection, statistical pattern recognition, and causal inference) to automatically isolate failure modes across perception, planning, control, and vehicle platform layers.
• Integrate automated triaging into continuous integration, regression testing, and cloud replay pipelines (SiL/HiL/ViL) to streamline software release cycles and raise validation standards across engineering groups.
• Establish best practices for log data structures, automated analytics workflows, vector search/embeddings for failure mode retrieval, and ML pipeline reliability.
• Partner directly with autonomy software leads, validation engineers, and cloud infrastructure teams to align toolsets and integrate automated diagnostics into day-to-day R&D workflows.
