Sr. AI Developer

Description
Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office, three days per week, at minimum. But if you live outside an 80 KM radius from Markham Elevation Centre, it will be remote.
The Role
We are at a pivotal time in our industry where simulation techniques are paving the way towards a digital revolution of our engineering tools and systems. As we transform and drive new software content for our vehicles, our vision is one that strongly augments simulation techniques with AI. This will enable maximum efficiency, increased robustness, optimized workflows, all scalable.
Towards this goal, we are creating dedicated teams to focus on AI, data analytics, simulation, and automation frameworks for hardware, software and system design and development. This role is key and is specifically critical to building AI models that can extract/learn from existing core information effectively.
What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Model, build and test AI based software that is subject to a wide variety of complex inputs.
• Use your expertise in LLMs and/or AI agents to help drive our SW/tools stack while maintaining key connection to our data frameworks (existing calibration or development guides for example).
• Work collaboratively with a team of specialists ranging from data scientists, simulation experts and calibration technical specialists to cohesively build new capability into our existing CoSimulation framework.
• Use your knowledge to prototype new AI solutions that fit our goals as they evolve and we future proof our technology stacks.
• Contribute to visualizations of our work and strive for physical meanings/interpretations of the AI outputs.
• Challenge the status quo continuously, with a main aim being to further our understanding of our data.
• Master ambiguity in a way that can leverage creative insights while remaining grounded in your deliverables.
• Lead and mentor others in the team towards a common goal.
