Chief Autonomous Vehicle Architect

We are seeking a skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join our Behaviors team. This role offers the opportunity to work with world-class engineers and research scientists who are dedicated to making self-driving vehicles a reality.

The Behaviors team develops machine learning models that learn how different agents navigate complex real-world traffic scenarios. These models are used to set the behavior of our self-driving vehicle, as well as predict the behavior of other agents such as vehicles and vulnerable road users.

We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about autonomous driving, excited by intellectual challenges, and interested in pursuing career growth with a fast-growing company.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive project-level impact to make our autonomous vehicles operate at superhuman capabilities for comfortable, safe driving.
• Define and influence the direction of the team, organization, and/or department.
• Advise leaders on technology problems and solutions.
• Connect and drive business impact through technology solutions.
• Formulate problems, architect solutions, and design processes.
• Prototype, evaluate, implement, and iterate on solutions.
• Pioneer research into state-of-the-art solutions and systems for autonomous vehicles.
• Productionize and deploy solutions onto autonomous vehicle fleets.
• Mentor and grow junior and experienced engineers and researchers.
• Help create and reinforce a culture of inclusion, innovation, and excellence.

Requirements:

• BA, Masters or PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics or a related field; or equivalent industry experience.
• In-depth understanding of common machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
• Experience designing, training, and analyzing neural networks for at least one of the following applications: object detection, semantic/instance segmentation, visual classification, motion/gesture recognition, sensor fusion, multitask learning, motion prediction, and/or multi-object tracking.
• Advanced knowledge of software engineering principles including software design, source control management, build processes, code reviews, testing methods.
• Fluency in Python, including standard scientific computing libraries and Python bindings development experience.
• Experience with PyTorch or other deep learning frameworks.
• Experience working with large data sets and deriving insights from data.
• Effectiveness at leading and executing large, complex technical initiatives.
• Strong track record of tackling ambiguous problems, creating clarity from it, and driving it to successful outcomes.

Bonus Points:

• Proven track record of publications in relevant conferences (CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, ICCV, ICLR, etc.).
• PhD in machine learning, computer vision, or robotics vision.
• Experience working on autonomous vehicles, or related fields.
• Experience in deploying models into real-world environments.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and/or CUDA programming.
