As the Global Software Center of Hyundai Motor Group, 42dot pioneers the future of mobility by advancing the development of software-defined vehicles.\nWe 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.\nAbout the Role\nGreat models are only as good as the system they run on. This role sits at the boundary between the ML autonomy team's models and the on-board system, taking what the research and ML teams build and turning it into something that runs reliably, in real time, on real vehicle hardware. 42dot is looking for builders who want to own the last and hardest mile between a model that works in an offline eval and a model that works in a vehicle.\nFounding Team Opportunity\nThe on-board integration architecture is being defined right now, with no legacy deployment stack to retrofit. An early hire here will help shape:\nThe model deployment pipeline, from training-time artifact to vehicle-ready binary\n\nInference optimization strategy and tooling for the whole autonomy stack\n\nThe interface contract standard between ML models and on-board software\n\nResponsibilities\nIntegrate ML models (end-to-end driving, VLA, world models) onto the on-board compute and runtime stack\n\nOptimize model inference for latency, throughput, memory, and power on embedded automotive hardware\n\nBuild and maintain the model deployment pipeline, including conversion, validation, and rollout\n\nStabilize on-vehicle ML execution by diagnosing runtime failures, timing violations, and resource contention\n\nDefine interface contracts between ML models and the rest of the on-board software stack\n\nWork closely with the ML autonomy team to close the loop between deployment constraints and model design\n\nQualifications\nA track record of grit and ownership, with a demonstrated ability to work through ambiguous technical problems to a working solution\n\nBachelor's or Master's degree in CS, EE, Robotics, or related field\n\n2-4 years of experience in systems or software engineering, with some exposure to ML inference, embedded systems, or real-time software\n\nExperience contributing to deploying or optimizing ML models in production.\n\nSolid C++ and Python skills, with interest in working across the ML and systems boundary\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nBackground in autonomous driving or robotics on-board software\n\nExposure to inference optimization frameworks such as TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, and automotive SoCs\n\nExposure to real-time operating systems and safety-critical software practices\n\nExperience contributing to CI/CD and automated validation pipelines\n\nInterview Process\nApplication Review - Coding Test - 1st interview - 2nd interview - Offer Negotiation - Hiring\n\nThe screening procedures may vary depending on the position, schedule, or other circumstances.\nYou will be individually notified of the screening schedule and results via the email address provided in your application.\n\nCompensation\n$150,000 - $205,000\n\nAdditional Information\nIn accordance with fair hiring practices, do not include any personal information unrelated to your job qualifications (e.g., Social Security Number, family relations, marital status, age, photo, physical condition, place of birth, etc.) in your resume.\n\nAll documents must be submitted in PDF format and under 30MB in size.\n\nIf you experience issues uploading your resume, please send it along with the job posting URL to .\n\nWe strongly encourage applications from U.S. veterans and candidates eligible for employment preference under applicable laws.\n\nQualified individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).\n\n42dot does not accept unsolicited resumes and will not pay fees for any such submissions. Equal Opportunity Statement\n\n42dot is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
