Mercedes-Benz Group AG Manufacturing

AI Senior Engineer- AI Native Engineering

Bengaluru, India In person Full-time

Description - External

  • Data Product Engineer (3-8 Years Overall Experience)
  • Location: Bengaluru
  • Employment Type: Full-Time
  • Design, build and operate reusable, governed and scalable data products by integrating data from fragmented enterprise, engineering and manufacturing systems.
  • The role will build the actual data layer that abstracts source-system complexity and provides reliable data for applications, analytics, AI/ML and GenAI solutions.

Source Integration

  • Connect and ingest data from heterogeneous systems including databases, APIs, files, cloud platforms, enterprise applications, manufacturing systems and event streams.
  • Develop batch, incremental, CDC and streaming ingestion pipelines.
  • Understand source-system structures and map them into standardized domain models.

Data Engineering

  • Build production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines using Python, SQL, PySpark/Spark and relevant cloud technologies.
  • Develop transformations from raw/source-aligned data into clean, standardized and reusable business data.
  • Build robust orchestration, scheduling, error handling and recovery mechanisms.
  • Optimize data pipelines for reliability, scalability, performance and cost.

Data Product Development

  • Develop reusable data products rather than application-specific extracts.
  • Implement domain and canonical data models defined with the Data Architect.
  • Define and implement data-product schemas and contracts.

Expose data through appropriate mechanisms such as

Lakehouse tables

SQL endpoints

Events

Semantic models

Data Quality & Observability

  • Build automated data-quality validations.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting and observability.
  • Handle schema changes and source-system changes.
  • Implement lineage and metadata requirements.
  • Perform root-cause analysis for pipeline and data-quality failures.

Software Engineering

  • Apply Git-based development and branching practices.
  • Implement CI/CD for data pipelines.
  • Develop automated unit and integration tests.
  • Participate in peer reviews and technical design discussions.
  • Build reusable engineering components and frameworks.

AI Data Enablement

  • Prepare structured and unstructured data for AI/ML and GenAI applications.
  • Build pipelines supporting AI use cases and enterprise knowledge layers.
  • Exposure to embeddings, vector databases and RAG architectures is desirable.
