What you'll do...

• Apply Machine Learning to Powertrain Data: Develop, train, and deploy machine learning models on curated powertrain data to detect anomalies, identify early-warning quality indicators, and predict component degradation.

• Quantify & Assess Risk: Use statistical modeling and ML inference to quantify, assess, and prioritize risks associated with powertrain field quality issues, enabling data-driven decision-making.

• Perform Inferential Analytics: Conduct inferential and diagnostic analytics to identify root causes of complex engineering and quality problems, translating CV big data into actionable insights.

• Establish Stakeholder Alignment: Build strong working relationships with key stakeholders in Product Development to ensure that plans and requirements are fully understood, and issues are resolved effectively and efficiently.

• Debug & Resolve Issues: Debug, root-cause, and resolve propulsion systems quality issues with cross-functional teams, leveraging connected vehicle data, ML models, and enterprise toolsets.
  
  Foster Data Collection: Drive and optimize connected vehicle data collection strategies for solving engineering problems and characterizing customer usage patterns.

• Query & Manipulate Big Data: Write highly proficient BigQuery SQL (and similar language) queries to extract, clean, and interpret massive, connected vehicle datasets in the propulsion systems domain.
  
  Develop Data Pipelines: Design, build, and own robust data pipelines and workflows using Python, PySpark, and modern data engineering tools to support ML model training and deployment.

• Coordinate Data Creation: Partner with vehicle software teams to define and create new connected vehicle data elements, and support the validation of these new telemetry signals.

• Validate via Calibration Tools: Utilize in-vehicle calibration tools (ATI / ETAS) to collect high-frequency data to validate connected data and verify ML model predictions on key propulsion features and subsystems.

• Synthesize & Communicate Insights: Summarize and present complex machine learning models, statistical analyses, and big data findings in a simplified, visual fashion to both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.
