Freelance Consultant - Automotive AI Engineer

We are seeking an expert-level Automotive AI Engineer with deep specialization in camera-based computer vision and AI lighting systems. The role will guide on designing, developing, and deploying AI-driven computer vision solutions for intelligent high-beam control, including accurate detection of oncoming vehicles and rear-approaching vehicles, to enable glare-free adaptive lighting in next-generation automotive platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of advanced computer vision algorithms for detecting oncoming and rear-approaching vehicles using mono/stereo camera data.
• Architect and implement AI/ML models for adaptive high-beam and glare-free lighting systems, ensuring robustness across diverse driving conditions (night, rain, fog, urban/highway).
• Drive end-to-end image and video processing pipelines, including preprocessing, object detection, classification, and multi-object tracking.
• Own model training, validation, benchmarking, and performance evaluation using large-scale automotive datasets.
• Collaborate closely with embedded software, hardware, and system teams to deploy models on automotive-grade SoCs/ECUs under real-time constraints.
• Optimize models for latency, memory footprint, power efficiency, and functional safety requirements.
• Support system-level integration with ADAS lighting controllers and vehicle ECUs.
• Provide technical leadership, including design reviews, documentation, and regular progress updates to internal and external stakeholders.
• Stay current with state-of-the-art automotive vision, AI techniques, and regulatory trends, and apply best practices to production systems.

Required Skills & Experience

• Minimum 12 years of experience in AI, computer vision, or embedded automotive systems.
• Strong expertise in computer vision and deep learning (CNNs, object detection, tracking).
• Experience with ADAS or automotive perception systems.
• Hands-on knowledge of camera-based detection pipelines.
• Experience with frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV.
• Understanding of real-time embedded systems and optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with automotive standards (ISO 26262 is a plus)
