About the role
What will you do at Stellantis?
As AI-powered features become central to automotive vehicles — from ADAS
perception and voice assistants to predictive diagnostics and intelligent
infotainment — rigorous validation of these systems is critical for successful
deployment. We are seeking a Senior AI Validation Engineer to design and
implement testing strategies, frameworks, and automated pipelines that ensure
the quality, safety, and reliability of deep learning and LLM-based features
across vehicle platforms.
This role sits at the intersection of AI/ML engineering and automotive system
validation. You will build the tools, datasets, and evaluation methodologies
that enable confident delivery of AI-driven automotive solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- * Design and implement validation frameworks for deep learning models
- (perception, NLP, generative AI) deployed in automotive systems, covering
- accuracy, robustness, latency, and safety metrics.
- * Develop automated test pipelines for LLM-based features, including
- hallucination detection, response quality evaluation, prompt regression
- testing, and adversarial input testing.
- * Build and curate evaluation datasets and benchmarks tailored to automotive AI
- use cases (e.g., voice commands, diagnostic Q&A, sensor fusion outputs).
- * Create AI-assisted test generation tools that leverage LLMs to automatically
- produce test cases, test data, and expected-result specifications from system
- requirements.
- * Develop model monitoring and drift detection systems for AI features running
- in production and test environments.
- * Collaborate with system architects to integrate AI model validation into
- existing test bench infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
- * Implement automated regression testing for ML model updates, ensuring
- backward compatibility and performance parity across software releases.
- * Analyze test results using statistical methods and ML techniques to identify
- root causes, failure patterns, and quality trends.
- * Work in cross-functional Agile teams spanning AI/ML, embedded software, and
- system integration disciplines.
Qualifications
- Basic
Qualifications
- * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Machine Learning, Data Science,
- Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- * Minimum of 5 years of experience in ML/AI development, with a minimum of 2
- years focused on model evaluation, testing, or validation.
- * Strong proficiency in Python and testing/automation frameworks (pytest, Robot
- Framework, or equivalent).
- * Hands-on experience evaluating deep learning models — including metrics
- design, dataset curation, bias/fairness analysis, and regression testing.
- * Experience with LLM evaluation techniques (BLEU, ROUGE, human-in-the-loop
- evaluation, LLM-as-judge approaches).
- * Familiarity with ML experiment tracking and pipeline orchestration tools
- (MLflow, Weights & Biases, Kubeflow, or equivalent).
- * Experience with CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) for
- automated test execution.
- * Strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to translate AI
- validation results into actionable insights for engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- * Master's in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
- * Experience with simulation-based testing or digital twin environments.
- * Familiarity with automotive test toolchains (dSpace, Vector CANoe, NI
- VeriStand) is a plus but not required.
- * Ability to collaborate effectively across time zones with global engineering
- teams.
- * Knowledge of automotive safety standards (ISO 26262, SOTIF/ISO 21448) as
- applied to AI systems.
- * Experience with adversarial robustness testing, out-of-distribution
- detection, or uncertainty quantification for neural networks.
