AI HiL Architect - Software Development

The AI Architect will define the technical vision and structural framework for Ford's AI-driven automation initiatives. You will be responsible for designing scalable, secure, and high-performance AI architectures that integrate into the global V&V (Verification & Validation) ecosystem. Your goal is to ensure that individual AI tools work together as a cohesive, enterprise-grade platform that enables rapid software delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

• Defining the end-to-end architecture for AI solutions, including data pipelines, model training environments, and deployment strategies (MLOps).
• Evaluating and selecting the tech stack (e.g., LLMs, Computer Vision frameworks, Vector Databases) that will support the goal of a 2-week testing cycle.
• Establishing standards for model versioning, monitoring, and 'AI Ethics' to ensure that automated validations are reliable, repeatable, and compliant.
• Ensuring AI solutions are modular and can be integrated across different vehicle platforms and software domains without starting from scratch.
• Acting as a mentor to AI Developers, conducting code/architecture reviews, and troubleshooting complex system-level bottlenecks.
• Collaborating with IT, Security, and Cloud Infrastructure teams to ensure the AI platform is robust and meets Ford's enterprise standards.
