Senior AI Systems Engineer for Autonomous Driving

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

Job summary

Bosch USA is seeking a Senior AI Systems Engineer to set technical direction for ADAS and autonomous driving across multiple teams. Lead architecture, influence standards, and elevate AI-focused engineering capabilities in a global R&D environment.

You will guide design, implementation, and testing frameworks, applying modern AI/ML methods and scalable data pipelines to deliver safe, reliable self-driving technologies while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical 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.
