Project description
Our client is advancing its in-vehicle voice assistant into an intelligent, AI-powered companion. Large-language-model capabilities (Azure OpenAI / ChatGPT) have been running in production across vehicles with new E³-architecture models featuring enhanced voice functions from the factory. The customer backend is the cloud AI orchestration service behind this: it receives requests from the vehicle, classifies and routes them, orchestrates the LLM, tool services and specialised agents, and returns an answer or action to the car. DXC Luxoft serves as the end-to-end delivery partner, working in a joint product team with the client's engineers on the Azure platform (AKS, Azure OpenAI, AI Foundry, Managed Identity, Azure Monitor, Azure DevOps).
This role owns the architecture of the backend service in series operation — a system that is already live across a large vehicle fleet and must stay available and backward-compatible while significant new capability is added: streaming across the full ASR LLM TTS chain, multi-intent handling, barge-in, a guardrails layer for deterministic vehicle-safe answers, agent routing, and new tool integrations. It also owns the vehicle backend interface contract: how the car talks to backend, across several vehicle generations at once.
