AI Engineer - Foundation Models & Auto-Labeling for Autonomous Driving

VINFAST is a pioneering electric vehicle (EV) company committed to revolutionizing the automotive industry with sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. As a leading player in the EV market, VinFast is dedicated to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge electric vehicles that redefine the driving experience. Our team consists of passionate professionals driven by a shared vision of creating a greener and more sustainable future through innovation, technology, and excellence. We are seeking an AI Engineer specializing in Foundation Models and Computer Vision to develop scalable auto-labeling solutions for autonomous-driving data. You will leverage Vision Foundation Models (VFMs), Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and multimodal AI to automatically generate high-quality annotations from large-scale driving datasets, reducing manual labeling effort and accelerating perception-model development.

Key

Responsibilities Develop foundation-model-based auto-labeling pipelines for 2D/3D detection, segmentation, tracking, lanes, freespace, traffic signs/lights, and scene understanding. Adapt and fine-tune VFMs/VLMs and multimodal models for autonomous-driving domains using fine-tuning, prompting, distillation, and pseudo-labeling. Leverage temporal and multimodal information to improve label accuracy and consistency across driving sequences. Optimize foundation-model inference for large-scale, cost-efficient GPU processing and production deployment. Collaborate with perception, data, infrastructure, and annotation teams to integrate auto-labeling into the autonomous-driving data pipeline.

Requirements BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, AI, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related field. At least 3 years of experience in similar positions. Strong expertise in Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Foundation Models. Experience with Vision Transformers, VLMs, multimodal models, or self-supervised learning. Solid knowledge of object detection, segmentation, tracking, and 2D/3D perception. Strong experience with Python, PyTorch, and GPU-based model training/inference. Experience with large-scale datasets, model evaluation, and ML pipelines. Preferred: Experience with autonomous driving/ADAS, SAM-family models, DINO/Grounding DINO, CLIP/SigLIP-style models, open-vocabulary perception, BEV/3D perception, active learning, model distillation, TensorRT/ONNX, or distributed GPU inference.

Benefits Opportunity to work on cutting-edge perception systems with real-world impact. A collaborative, fast-paced, and innovation-driven environment. Clear career growth path, leadership opportunities, and support for research and learning.Competitive salary Premium healthcare package, including PVI insurance & annual health check-ups 13th-month salary & performance bonuses to reward your contributions Enjoy preferential pricing for services within the Vingroup ecosystem including Vinmec, Vinpearl, and Vinschool...
