Principal Architect – Automotive Data Architecture

Harman International — IN_Bangalore_Sattva Knowledge Court Bdg_HII

As an Embedded Automotive Data Architect, you will design and lead the in-vehicle data collection architecture that enables continuous improvement and personalization of in-vehicle audio experiences, while ensuring a secure, privacy-preserving approach. You will partner closely with ML Engineers, Data Engineers, and Intelligent Cockpit engineers to define and roll out an end-to-end architecture that supports OTA delivery of edge AI/ML model updates, fully aligned with OEM specifications, constraints, and requirements. You will bridge collaboration with Intelligent Cockpit and Central Compute (HU/CCU) development teams to expand logging, telemetry, and communication mechanisms to capture and export audio system related interactions events and user preference data to enable continuous improvement of machine learning models and next-generation audio features. What You Will Do • Partner with Intelligent Cockpit and Central Compute (HU/CCU), Data Engineer and ML to design and roll out architecture for data collection and models updates. • Identify HMI/UX interaction and communication messages in HU/CCU/Amplifier to reliably capture how users interact with audio features. • Identify logging mechanisms and storage allocation on HU/CCU/Amplifier to store relevant audio system related interactions and user preferences. • Define retention, compression, and resource budgeting (CPU/RAM/flash) for new messages and signals about audio features usage and user preferences • Architect data upload mechanisms, both on board and by cellphone gateways, under real constraints: connectivity availability, restrictions, cost/bandwidth budgets, OEM policies, intermittent coverage, and offline-first behavior; implement batching, sampling, retry/acknowledgement for data Collection retrieval. • Identify and establish secure OTA workflows to update ML models considering versioning, integrity checks, rollout and rollback strategies, and compatibility rules. • Advise in-vehicle OS integration appr
