Responsibilities
• Own development and delivery of End-to-End ML models that map multi-modal sensor inputs (camera, LiDAR, radar, maps) to driving-relevant outputs (trajectories, cost functions, or intermediate representations) • Train and evaluate models using large-scale datasets from fleet logs, simulation, and synthetic data • Analyze model performance, identify failure modes, and drive data-driven improvements in robustness and generalization • Design and refine training pipelines, data workflows, and evaluation strategies to improve iteration speed and model quality • Contribute to model architecture decisions, including approaches such as imitation learning, reinforcement learning, transformers, and vision-language-action (VLA) models • Collaborate closely with Perception, Prediction, Planning, and Simulation teams to ensure alignment across the autonomy stack • Support integration of E2E models into simulation and on-vehicle systems for closed-loop validation • Improve tooling, experimentation workflows, and reproducibility across the team • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-level best practices and technical discussions
