• Apply advanced statistical, ML, and deep learning techniques to root cause analysis, quality improvement, and feature optimization.
• Design and refine LLM-based and agentic systems for engineering and quality applications.

Data & Platform Architecture:

• Architect and guide implementation of scalable data pipelines and distributed analytics systems (Spark-based).
• Lead model lifecycle management, validation, and performance governance in production environments.
• Ensure solutions are robust, explainable, and suitable for regulated automotive contexts.

E xperimentation & Product Impact:

• Lead the experimentation platform and methodology, enabling safe, agile testing of software and vehicle features.
• Translate experimental results into actionable product and engineering decisions.
• Drive measurable outcomes in revenue, warranty cost reduction, and customer experience.

Knowledge Sharing & Influence:

• Democratize learning through contributions to a centralized internal knowledge base and external technical blog.
• Mentor senior and mid-level data scientists; raise the overall technical bar of the organization.
• Educate partners on problem formulation, research design, and interpretation of results.

Top Performers will be able to demonstrate:

• Demonstrated business impact through deployed models or analytics-driven products.
• Measurable improvements in quality, warranty cost, or customer experience.
• Clear influence on technical direction beyond immediate project scope.
• Effective communication and alignment with non-technical and executive stakeholders.
• Measurable consumer experience impact through analysis, statistical models or products built.
