VW. Two letters. Endless opportunities. A bright future.

Innovation. Sophistication. Optimization. This is our Passion.

Worldwide, the Volkswagen Group has a long tradition of dramatic innovations. The Volkswagen Group with its headquarters in Wolfsburg is one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers and the largest carmaker in Europe. The Group comprises twelve brands from seven European countries: Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Scania and MAN.  Here in the US, we are blending German engineering with American ingenuity.

As ADMT, we develop and realize fully autonomous mobility and transportation services. Our mission is to make mobility and transportation-as-a-service safe, accessible and most attractive for society. For that, we cover the entire ground from strategy and business development, software development and end-2-end integration, fleet operations to next-generation self-driving systems. Being the driver in Volkswagen Group initiative for mobility solutions, we’re an integral part of Volkswagen Group's future success. Are you ready to join us?

 *Six Month Minimum starting in November 2025.

AI Fellowship

Role Summary:

Join our AI team building advanced ML solutions for autonomous driving simulation, test automation, and data analytics. You’ll work alongside senior AI engineers and gain hands-on experience applying AI to real-world autonomous systems challenges. Your work will support validation of Level 4 driving stacks across simulation platforms and fleet data pipelines.

Role Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design and implementation of ML pipelines for simulation-based testing and data analytics
• Develop AI modules for detecting outliers, identifying driving behavior patterns, and automating validation
• Develop data processing, labeling, and feature extraction pipelines for multi-modal data from sources such as camera, radar, LiDar, text, object-lists, and CAN.
• Assist in writing technical documentation and interface specs

Required Qualifications

• Must be enrolled at a University/College or Graduation date must be within the last six months.
• Enrolled in MS or PhD program in CS, AI/ML, Robotics, or similar
• Must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
• Strong Python programming and experience with ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
• Familiarity with CV/ML techniques: CNNs, RNNs, transformers, or foundation models
• Experience with unsupervised, supervised, and semi-supervised learning for tasks such as clustering, classification, outlier detection.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with autonomous driving or robotics datasets is a plus
• Knowledge of simulation tools (Unreal, CARLA, VTD), ROS, OpenSCENARIO, or autonomous driving validation concepts

Six Month Minimum commitment - Masters or PhD candidates only. 

We are unable to consider International Students/OPT or CPT at this time.
