About the job

Develop and productionize large-scale generative and predictive world models for autonomous-driving simulation, including systems for temporal reasoning, scenario generation, and scene understanding.

What you'll do

  • Design and scale generative and predictive models for driving scenes and controllable simulation.
  • Translate research prototypes into distributed training and inference pipelines; optimize efficiency, speed, and reliability.
  • Build large-scale training data pipelines and maintain the quality and stability of model infrastructure.

What they ask for

  • Strong Python and PyTorch or JAX skills, software-engineering fundamentals, and extensive experience with distributed training and large-scale model deployment.
  • Master's degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience in model development and scaling.
  • Experience building and deploying generative or predictive physical-world models for real-world applications, with attention to scale, efficiency, and robustness.
  • Experience collaborating in a close-knit research and engineering team, with strong communication skills.

Nice to have

  • Experience with large-scale ML training infrastructure such as cloud platforms, Kubeflow, or Ray; or efficient serving and deployment tools such as ONNX or TensorRT.
  • Publications or research at a top ML/CV/Robotics conference such as CVPR, ECCV, or NeurIPS.
