About the job
Develop and ship AI driver models that learn and improve driving behaviours from data, with evaluation and validation on-road and offline.
What you'll do
- Develop model architectures and training algorithms for L2/L3/L4 driving behaviours; own parts of the training lifecycle, including evaluation and iteration planning.
- Curate real-world and synthetic data, run on-road and offline experiments, and use results to improve models through repeated training cycles.
- Build production-ready ML systems spanning training, evaluation, deployment, and performance monitoring.
What they ask for
- Proven end-to-end ownership of deep learning model training, including data, training, evaluation, and iteration.
- Experience taking ML models into production under real-world quality and safety constraints.
- Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with modern ML frameworks.
- Background in end-to-end autonomous driving/embodied AI or large-scale product ML systems such as recommendations or ranking.
Nice to have
- Reinforcement learning or behavioural cloning experience, especially with measurable real-world performance improvements.
- Familiarity with model compression and deploying ML to embedded systems.
