AI Engineer Prototyping & Feasibility

We are Geely Technology Europe. A unified European R&D centre within Geely Auto Group, where world-class engineers, developers and innovators push the boundaries of intelligent mobility. Our mission is to shape the next generation of vehicle architectures, digital technologies and intelligent systems for global markets. We integrate European customer and regulatory requirements early in the development process and support multiple brands within the Geely portfolio, including Zeekr, Lynk & Co and Geely. With nearly two decades of engineering experience in Europe, we continue to build smart, sustainable and user-centric mobility solutions.

We are building a high-impact team focused on turning AI ideas into validated concepts for next-generation vehicle systems.

As an AI Engineer, you will work closely with domain experts across areas such as vehicle dynamics, energy management and intelligent drive, turning ideas into working prototypes and evidence-based feasibility assessments.

This is not a traditional model development role. You will focus on understanding the core problem, validating whether AI is the right approach, and assessing if it creates meaningful value compared to existing solutions. You will play a key role in shaping which ideas move forward and why.

What You'll Do

• Work closely with domain experts to identify high-impact problems where AI can add value
• Translate unclear ideas into structured problem statements, hypotheses and evaluation criteria
• Design and build rapid prototypes using real or representative data (e.g. vehicle logs, simulations)
• Define and evaluate KPIs linked to value creation (performance, efficiency, robustness, cost)
• Benchmark solutions against baseline systems, alternative approaches and state-of-the-art methods
• Assess feasibility beyond model performance, including data readiness, system constraints and integration complexity
• Focus on the most critical unknowns early, avoiding over-engineering
• Translate findings into clear, decision-ready recommendations (go / refine / stop)
• Contribute to team development, ways of working and mentoring where relevant

Who You Are:

We believe you enjoy working in early-phase development, where clarity is created through exploration rather than given upfront.

You likely have:

• A degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics or similar
• Several years of experience in applied AI/ML, prototyping, or technical concept development
• Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Experience working with domain experts and translating engineering context into AI approaches

And you have a proven ability to:

• Move from unclear ideas structured problem prototype recommendation
• Design meaningful experiments and evaluate trade-offs beyond model accuracy
• Identify the core problem behind a request
• Assess whether AI is the right solution, or if a simpler approach is better
• Communicate insights in a clear and structured way

Nice to have:

• Experience from automotive, robotics, energy, or other engineering-heavy domains
• Familiarity with vehicle systems, control, simulation or time-series data
• Experience working with hybrid approaches (AI + rules / optimization / physics-based models)
• Exposure to early-stage product or concept development environments
• Experience with cloud platforms or scalable experimentation environments

Why should you join us?

Let's face it, there are plenty of opportunities out there. But here's why joining us is a game-changer:

• You will work on real vehicle challenges with a clear impact on future products and influence which AI concepts move forward and why
• Collaborate across domains with experienced engineers & specialists and o perate in an environment that values fast learning, clear thinking, and evidence-based decision-making
• Play a key role in shaping how AI is applied in practice, not just in theory
• You'll be a part of a team that focuses on high-value problems, turns ideas into evidence and actionable decisions, and help shape the future application of AI in mobility
• Flexibility & Balance: We understand that life happens, which is why we offer flexibility and work-life balance to ensure you can thrive both personally and professionally.
• Perks & Benefits: From competitive salaries to benefits like 30 vacation days, 9 additional ATK days and an annual STI program to reward your performance, we've got you covered.

Last Application date: 2026-08-09

During the Swedish summer vacation period we won't be able to answer any questions about the process or the position. The recruitment process will start up again in mid to late August.

To ensure a fair and objective recruitment process, we have chosen not to request a personal letter, though you are welcome to include one if you wish. Instead, we rely on selection questions and assessment tests, allowing us to focus on your experience and competence for a more efficient and unbiased recruitment process.

A background check will also be conducted on the final candidate, including verification of personal details, employment history, financial standing, and any criminal records.
