Validation Engineer - Context, Semantics & Memory (f/m/x)

Validation Engineer - Context, Semantics & Memory (f/m/x)

INNOVATION IS IMAGINING WHAT NO ONE ELSE CAN.

What awaits you?

• You design and operate knowledge graphs and graph databases that capture domain knowledge, toolchain topology, operational incidents, root‑cause analyses and lessons learned – enabling graph‑based retrieval across the organization.
• Further, you build context‑engineering pipelines that dynamically assemble, rank and budget the information supplied to LLM‑based agents.
• Also, you implement feedback loops: coding agents and skills that interact with our toolchain log outcomes, diagnose failures and write findings back into the knowledge graph, making the system progressively more capable.
• It is your responsibility to develop and maintain ontologies and semantic models for the automotive AI domain – sensor configurations, simulation scenarios, data‑pipeline topology, model lineage – ensuring consistent vocabulary across teams and tools.
• You architect agent memory systems (working, episodic, semantic) with appropriate consolidation and retention mechanisms so that long‑running agent sessions retain useful experience without context‑window bloat.
• In addition, you evaluate and optimise retrieval quality using relevance, coverage, freshness and redundancy metrics, and run experiments comparing retrieval strategies (dense, sparse, graph, hybrid).
• You contribute to cost‑efficient model selection and context‑compression strategies (prompt compression, semantic caching, model routing) to keep latency low and budgets sustainable at scale.

What should you bring along?

• University degree in Computer Science, Information Science, AI/ML, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of professional experience in knowledge management, knowledge‑graph engineering or context engineering for AI/LLM systems.
• Expert‑level programming skills in at least one high‑level language (C++, Java, Kotlin or Python).
• Proficiency in AI‑assisted development using coding agents such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or OpenCode.
• Hands‑on experience building and querying knowledge graphs (RDF/SPARQL or property graphs) and integrating them with LLM‑based retrieval (e.g. GraphRAG, hybrid search).
• Experience with systems design, particularly for knowledge‑intensive or retrieval‑heavy architectures.
• Familiarity with agent memory architectures, ontology design, semantic modelling, graph‑based analytics, entity resolution or knowledge‑graph embeddings.
