Machine Learning Engineer, Autonomy

42dot is a mobility AI company committed to solving mobility challenges with software and AI. As the Global Software Center of Hyundai Motor Group 42dot pioneers the future of mobility by advancing the development of software-defined vehicles.

We develop safety-first user-centric software-defined vehicle technologies that deliver the latest performance through continuous updates like smartphones. By advancing software and AI technology 42dot envisions a world where everything is connected and moves autonomously through a self-managing urban transportation operating system.

Were building a new autonomous driving organization to deliver production-ready L4 autonomy across trucks buses passenger vehicles and robotaxis.

Our approach is ML-first centered around end-to-end learning foundation models vision-language-action (VLA) models and world models.

As one of the founding members of the autonomy organization youll help build the next generation of autonomous driving systems from the ground up. Rather than inheriting decisions made years ago youll help define and implement them.

This is a hands-on engineering role. Youll build models write production code analyze failures and see your work run on real vehicles.

Most autonomy programs were started years ago. The major architectural decisions and engineering culture were established long before todays engineers joined.

Were at a different stage.

The engineers who join now will help define and build our autonomy platform influencing architecture technical direction engineering culture and future roadmap.
