Job Description

INNOVATION IS IMAGINING WHAT NO ONE ELSE CAN.

At the BMW Group, everything starts with passion. It turns a profession into a vocation. It drives us to keep reinventing mobility and bring innovative ideas onto the roads. Enthusiasm for joint projects turns a team into a strong unit where every opinion is valued. It is only when expertise, highly professional processes and enjoyment of work unite that we can shape the future together.

With our team you collaborate with experienced AI architects and engineers to build and evolve AI platform architecture, powering Android-based infotainment and large-scale vehicle software systems.

What awaits you?

• You design and own end-to-end AI and data architectures – from data ingestion and feature pipelines to model deployment and monitoring – with a strong focus on production-grade edge AI inside the vehicle.
• Furthermore, you build scalable platform architectures that serve multiple feature teams across the Android ecosystem (e.g. digital cockpits, infotainment features), enabling them to deliver AI-powered customer experiences reliably and at scale.
• You provide technical leadership for Android Automotive and its ecosystem, ensuring that AI platform decisions align with Android evolution, AOSP constraints, and long-term platform scalability.
• In addition, you define and evolve clear interfaces between AI platforms, Android infotainment, and application development – staying compatible with new Android versions while keeping the AI infrastructure adaptable and future-proof.
• You translate emerging AI requirements into production-ready platform capabilities, bridging applied research, platform engineering, and product needs.
• You continuously drive the AI strategy for infotainment platforms, tracking key technology trends (e.g. on-device LLMs/VLMs, multimodal interaction, agentic AI) and collaborating with leading external technology partners.

What should you bring along?

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field, with hands-on experience in AI and data architecture beyond prototypes.
• In-depth knowledge of Android (AOSP / Android Automotive) as a production platform, including its constraints and evolution.
• Strong experience with AI architecture onboard and offboard, as well as implementation of Small Language Models, Vision Language Models, or autonomous driving models.
• Knowledge of multi-agent systems orchestration, multi-turn dialogues, and related open standards (e.g., A2A, MCP).
• Experience with AI training toolchains and workflows including pruning, fine-tuning, and multimodal encoding.
• Proficiency in Rust, C++, Kotlin, and modern, API-driven system architectures.
• Proven technical leadership experience in agile, cross-functional teams.
