Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Remote)

About the job

The Autonomy Performance Metrics team focuses on data-driven metrics development to guide training and evaluation of other components within the AV stacks (Perception/Planning). The team focuses on three major topics: (1) developing a data-driven ML-based comfort/safety metrics that measure the performance of the AV, (2) developing tools to catch and prevent regressions in our AV software delivery progress, and (3) developing cutting-edge smart agent models and traffic simulation to enable a realistic real-world driving behavior.

What You'll Be Doing

• Collaborate with other teams such as machine learning platforms, resimulation teams, and planning to deliver high-stake projects.
• Develop cutting-edge ML based smart agent models to ensure that the simulation environment reflects the real world driving behavior, with cars, pedestrians, cyclists interacting with our autonomous car in realistic fashion.
• Develop the performance metrics of our autonomous car.
• Build tools that leverage on performance metrics to enable fast iterations of AV-stack developments.
  

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
