Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Here’s what this particular role covers.</p><h2><br />🛠️ About our Engineering Teams</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our engineering teams bring together ML engineering, evaluation and data science, software platform, testing, and product to turn breakthrough autonomous-driving technology into reliable products. Model releases connect these disciplines, taking AI models from early hypotheses through training, evaluation, and on-road testing to deployment across our vehicle fleet.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">As our Release Manager — AI Models, you’ll help ensure that a core part of our technology — the AI model — is released reliably, on time, and to the standard required for production. You’ll bring structure and disciplined release practices to the fast-paced, non-deterministic world of ML, building the processes and systems that support clarity, stability, and business goals.<br /></p><h2>🧠 Your day-to-day</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own the model release cycle, maintaining a steady and predictable cadence while adapting to changing business priorities.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Coordinate across ML engineering, evaluation and data science, software platform, testing, and product to keep releases moving and resolve dependencies.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run the gates that promote models from hypothesis → training → evaluation → validation → deployment, making clear what is ready to ship and what needs more work.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Drive investigations into regressions and integration issues, coordinate rollback or roll-forward decisions, and follow through on technical debt and corrective actions.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Be the central point of contact for model-release status, risks, and timelines, giving engineers and leadership the right level of detail.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run post-release reviews and turn lessons learned into practical improvements across teams.<br /></p></li></ul><h2>🧩 What you’ll be working on:</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Release gates and promotion criteria:</strong> Define and justify what it takes for a model to progress, balancing performance gains, reproducibility, product requirements, safety, and compatibility with the onboard software stack and vehicle platform.</p></li><li><p style="
