About the job
Develop and deploy machine-learning systems for autonomous transport, covering model research, edge optimization, and mining real-world driving data for long-tail scenarios.
What you'll do
- Research and build multimodal, reinforcement-learning, and world-model systems for trajectory planning and vehicle actuation.
- Optimize and deploy models on vehicle edge hardware, profiling inference pipelines and reducing latency and resource bottlenecks.
- Build data pipelines to identify rare driving scenarios and use them to improve models and simulation testing.
What they ask for
- 4+ years of non-internship professional MLE experience.
- Expertise applying AI Transformers to robotics, physical actuation, or spatial-temporal data, with experience designing or training multimodal systems, VLA models, or generative Diffusion models.
- Experience with sensor fusion using Cameras, LiDAR, and Radar.
- Fluency in PyTorch or JAX and proficiency in Python; C++ familiarity or skills are also requested.
Nice to have
- Experience with multi-task learning, Birds-Eye-View (BEV) frameworks, representation learning, or data tokenization.
- Familiarity with low-level camera/sensor interfaces and robotics hardware.
