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 enable 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.
Your new role:
MLOps & Cloud Architecture:
- Design and own end-to-end MLOps architecture on AWS for autonomous driving workloads
- Build and operate a scalable multi-GPU training environments using Ray clusters
AWS Platform & Infrastructure:
- Implement and manage: Amazon EKS / Kubernetes (K8s), VPC architecture, S3 Intelligent-Tiering, AWS Lambda, and AWS IoT infrastructure provisioned via Terraform
MLOps Pipelines & Tooling:
- Design and operate ML pipelines using Apache Airflow and MLflow
- Implement CI/CD pipelines for ML and infrastructure using GitHub
Algorithmic & Domain Collaboration:
- Work closely with ML engineers on perception algorithms and decision-making algorithms
Observability, Scalability & Operations:
- Build strong monitoring, logging, and observability systems and infrastructure
- Enable performance metrics, failure detection, and operational insights across the ML lifecycle
- Identify root causes of issues and rectify them
- Engage and communicate with leaders within global development teams
- Be exposed to OEM customers via remote meetings, in-person demonstrations and presentations
Your Background:
-
MSc degree + 4 years of relevant experience or PhD degree in Computer Science, Data Science

- Multi-GPU training (Ray or equivalent distributed frameworks)
- Amazon EKS / Kubernetes for ML workloads
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Airflow, MLflow
- Proficiency in software development using Python for ML and platform automation
- Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub-based)
- Deep understanding of ML training pipelines, including:
- Data ingestion and preprocessing
- Data quality assurance
- Train/test validation strategies
- Experience supporting large-scale ML experimentation and productionization
- Familiarity with constraints of safety-critical and real-time systems
- Excellent problem solving and debugging skills
- Fluent command in spoken and written English
Any of the following will be highly beneficial:
- Past experience with L2/L2+/L2++ ADAS or autonomous driving programs
- Experience in robotic systems: perception, localization, planning, control
- Knowledge of urban driving edge cases and sensor-heavy ML systems
- Exposure to automotive standards, safety, or validation workflows (e.g., ISO 26262 awareness)
- Experience operating ML platforms at enterprise or fleet scale
