The Opportunity:

Sonatus is seeking a Senior Staff AI Engineer to define and build the next generation of AI applications for software-defined vehicles. You'll be the technical leader for new AI initiatives, often starting from a customer problem and a loose set of goals, and you'll shape them into working proofs of concept and, where they prove out, deployable solutions. This is a high-impact role for someone who is as comfortable framing the problem as building the solution.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture and development of end-to-end software solutions leveraging agentic AI (e.g., LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, context engineering, and evaluation).
• Design and implement robust data orchestration and processing pipelines for continuous agent operations and performance improvement.
• Translate complex customer problems and business requirements into effective, deployable AI solutions.

Requirements:

• MS or PhD in a science, mathematical, and/or engineering field.
• Proven experience in designing and deploying end-to-end AI systems in a production environment.
• In-depth knowledge of current Gen AI technologies and a strong software development background.
• Expertise in building high-performance AI applications that integrate a multitude of data sources.
• Strong foundation in machine learning model development, experimentation, and evaluation.
• Proven ability to lead technically across teams, with excellent system design and problem-solving skills

Benefits Offered:

• Competitive compensation and equity program
• Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Flexible and Dependent Care Expense program
• Retirement plan (401k)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
