About MBRDI

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI), headquartered in Bengaluru with a satellite office in Pune, is the largest R&D center for Mercedes-Benz Group AG outside of Germany. Our mission is to drive innovation and excellence in automotive engineering, digitalization, and sustainable mobility solutions, shaping the future of mobility.

Job Summary:

We are seeking an AI Test Engineer specializing in Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to lead the quality assurance of our next-generation intelligent applications. This role goes beyond traditional software testing—you will validate non-deterministic AI behavior, detect hallucinations, assess ethical compliance, and ensure the reliability and safety of our LLM-powered platforms.

You will develop advanced evaluation frameworks to measure semantic accuracy, factuality, and safety, ensuring robust model performance across diverse scenarios.

Here’s an expanded job description:

Key Responsibilities:

• Model Behavioral Testing: Design and execute evaluation tests to detect hallucinations, assess factual correctness, evaluate tone, and verify safety guardrails.

• Evaluation Framework Development: Build and maintain automated evaluation systems using frameworks like RAGAS, DeepEval, or Giskard to score LLM responses.

• Adversarial Red Teaming: Conduct proactive “red teaming” to identify vulnerabilities like prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data leakage.

• Data Quality Engineering: Validate the quality and diversity of training and validation datasets to prevent “garbage in, garbage out” scenarios.

• Drift & Performance Monitoring: Implement observability systems (using tools like Weights & Biases or Arize) to detect model and feature drift in production.

• Synthetic Data Generation: Use LLMs to generate high-fidelity synthetic test datasets to cover complex edge cases.

• Ethical & Bias Auditing: Run automated and manual checks to mitigate algorithmic bias and ensure compliance with the EU AI Act and other global regulations.

Required Skills:

• AI/ML Knowledge: Strong understanding of machine learning concepts, such as supervised vs. unsupervised learning, model evaluation metrics, neural networks, NLP, etc. Solid understanding of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), and transformer architectures.

• Statistical Competency: Ability to apply statistical validation (distributions, variance, confidence intervals) to evaluate non-deterministic system results.

• Automation & Testing Tools: Practical experience with Playwright, Selenium, PyTest, or equivalent automation frameworks.

• Programming: High proficiency in Python (essential for testing automation and data handling).

• Collaboration & Workflow Tools: Familiarity with tools such as Confluence, Jira, Xray, and ServiceNow.

Soft Skills:

• Proactive appearance and strong communication skills in German and English.

• Communicative, addressee-oriented, with stakeholders from different backgrounds and hierarchical levels.

• Organizational and coordination skills with the ability to coordinate timelines, resources, and dependencies.

• Ability to moderate & clarify professional, methodological and technical questions in the context of the release in interdisciplinary rounds.

• Ability to communicate in critical incident situations in a structured, addressee-oriented and solution-oriented manner.

• Provides visibility into escalation cases and confidently supports teams in root cause analysis and decision-making.

Qualifikationen

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Data Science, or a related discipline.3+ years of experience in QA, data validation, or ML testing.Hands-on exposure to at least one end-to-end AI pipeline (data → model → evaluation → deployment).Prior involvement in testing or validating AI-powered features, ML models, or data-centric workflows.Experience testing autonomous AI agents and multi-step workflow reasoning.Familiarity with AI observability stacks.Certifications in AI Testing, Machine Learning, or Quality Assurance.
