Staff AI Systems Engineer – Autonomous Driving

About the role

As a Staff AI Systems Engineer you will set technical direction across multiple teams, influence architecture and engineering standards, and elevate technical capabilities for autonomous driving technologies at Bosch.

Key responsibilities

• Architect and scale intelligent failure triaging and automated Root Cause Analysis frameworks for petabyte‑scale simulation and vehicle logs.
• Apply modern AI/ML methods (LLMs/VLMs, time‑series anomaly detection, statistical pattern recognition, causal inference) to isolate failure modes across perception, planning, control, and vehicle platforms.
• Integrate automated triaging into CI, regression testing, and cloud replay pipelines (SiL/HiL/ViL) to streamline releases.
• Establish best practices for log data structures, automated analytics workflows, vector search/embeddings, and ML pipeline reliability.
• Partner with autonomy software leads, validation engineers, and cloud infrastructure teams to embed diagnostics into daily R&D workflows.

Required profile

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of progressive engineering experience in software development, data‑analytics infrastructure, or automated testing for autonomous vehicles or complex distributed systems.
• 2+ years leading technical architecture, setting engineering strategy, or guiding multiple engineering teams.

Required skills

• Proficiency in Python and C++.
• Experience building production‑grade data pipelines, distributed execution frameworks, or testing infrastructure.
• Hands‑on work with big data structures and robotics logging formats (ROS/ROS2, MCAP, Protobuf, CAN logs).
• Familiarity with cloud storage and services (AWS, GCP).

What we offer

• Competitive base salary $185,000‑$215,000 per year.
• Annual corporate bonus and long‑term incentive bonus.
• Premium health coverage, 401(k) with matching, paid time off, parental leave, life and disability protection.
