Job description
About Us
42dot is a mobility AI company committed to solving mobility challenges with software and AI. As the Global Software Center of Hyundai Motor Group, 42dot pioneers the future of mobility by advancing the development of software-defined vehicles.
We 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.
Our AI Data Pipeline Engineers build up the core data processing pipelines and datasets readiness for autonomous driving cutting edge algorithms. We develop the distributed system of a scalable data pipeline for large-scale dataset (millions of scenes), as well as high-performance data serving SDKs for ML model training / evaluation. The data pipelines we deliver could highly improve the efficiency of ML model development lifecycle, including training, evaluation, deployment, as well as monitoring in the cloud environment.
