Director, Simulation and Evaluation Autonomous Driving

As the Director for Simulation and Evaluation you will sit at the center of the Global AI Backbone architecting the multi-level simulation ecosystems required to train evaluate and validate next-generation Foundation Models. You will bridge the gap between high-fidelity sensor simulation and generative world models ensuring our AI systems are statistically proven to be safe and robust before hitting the road.

This is a global role that requires you to define and manage a global simulation and evaluation ecosystem that enables continuous development and deployment of our ADAS systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead AI Simulation & Foundation Model Strategy: Define the roadmap for high throughput closed-loop simulation.
• Research and propose new methodologies to assess the quality safety and realism of ML models used for training evaluation and validation of L2 and L4 automated driving stacks.
• Architect Evaluation Frameworks: Build the infrastructure. Develop tools that allow for rapid iteration of Foundation Models ensuring model improvements translate into measurable gains in fleet-wide performance.
• Drive Generative AI Innovation: Lead the development of World Models to predict and generate complex realisticedge cases. Build data pipelines for signal discovery data  labeling and metric computation based on large-scale simulations.
• Production Release Authority: Establish the gold standard for evaluation that informs SoP (Start of Production) and model release decisions. Translate complex simulation data into technical strategy documentation for executive decision-making.
• Global Technical Leadership: Lead mentor and inspire a cross-functional global team of SWEs Data Scientists and ML experts fostering a culture of rigorous statistical validation and innovative engineering.

Qualifications :

Basic Qualifications:

• Masters or PhD in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Machine Learning Statistics Physics or a related quantitative field.
• 10 years of experience in software engineering with a specific focus on embedded systems automotive or robotics.
• 7 years of experience leading complex software projects from concept to production within the ADAS or Autonomous Driving domain.
• Direct hands-on experience with L2 or L4 system Start of Production (SoP) specifically overseeing simulation testing and validation protocols for high-stakes deployments.
• 5 years of involvement with the development or evaluation of large-scale AI LLMs or World Models/Generative AI models for simulation and behavioral prediction.
• Expert-level understanding of multi-level simulation platforms including high-fidelity sensorlevel simulation for perception and scalable object-level simulation for behavioral training.
• Proven mastery of data-driven report writing and technical strategy documentation designed for executive decision-making and safety case justifications.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5 years of experience with high-throughput simulation GPU-accelerated technologies (CUDA) parallel computing and Reinforcement Learning (RL).
• Mastery of C and Python. Experience building automated data pipelines for signal discovery data labeling and large-scale metric computation.
• 5 years of experience managing and mentoring global multi-disciplinary teams of Software Engineers Data Scientists and ML experts.
• Working knowledge of automotive industry safety standards and regulations (e.g. ISO 26262 SOTIF) as they apply to virtual validation.
