About Aptiv
Aptiv is a global technology leader with more than 200,000 employees across 48 countries. We develop advanced software, compute platforms, and intelligent systems that enable autonomous driving, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), connected mobility, and intelligent infrastructure. Aptiv technology is embedded in millions of vehicles worldwide and powers some of the industry’s most advanced automotive platforms.
As part of our expansion into Robotics and Adjacent Markets, Aptiv is developing scalable software and embedded computing platforms for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, industrial automation, and next-generation intelligent machines. These platforms combine embedded software, sensing, connectivity, autonomy, safety-critical systems, and cloud-connected architectures to enable reliable operation in demanding real-world environments.
About the role
As a Lead DevOps Engineer – Edge AI & Robotics, you will design, implement, and operate the automation, infrastructure, and deployment pipelines that enable scalable software delivery for robotics, drones, autonomous mobile robots, and intelligent edge platforms. You will work closely with software, AI/ML, embedded systems, and product teams to improve development productivity, release quality, deployment reliability, and operational visibility across cloud, edge, and embedded environments.
