TL;DR · Applied ML Validation Manager

As an Applied ML Validation Manager at the Autonomous Vehicle organization’s Software Validation team, you will lead a team responsible for developing and operating behavior critics and human benchmarking capabilities to ensure that machine learning-driven autonomy systems meet rigorous safety and performance standards. Your daily tasks include defining evaluation frameworks, integrating behavior critic signals into validation pipelines, and collaborating with various teams to enhance model development and release decisions. The role requires expertise in Python, PyTorch, and experience with simulation-based validation for ML systems. Ideal candidates have a background in computer science or related fields, 8+ years of relevant experience, and 2+ years of people management in engineering or applied ML roles. This position involves working on cutting-edge technologies to solve complex challenges in autonomous vehicle testing at scale.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development and operation of behavior critics for ML-driven autonomy systems.
  • Define evaluation strategies to assess ML system performance against human-like driving expectations.
  • Design and implement frameworks that convert qualitative human feedback into quantitative metrics.
  • Develop scalable programs to benchmark ML system performance relative to expert human drivers.
  • Integrate behavior critic outputs into validation pipelines and continuous release processes.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years experience with MS/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, Software Engineering, or Data Science.
  • 2+ years people management experience leading engineering, validation, or applied ML teams.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency with PyTorch and other ML tooling.
  • Experience designing and operating evaluation/validation pipelines for complex ML systems.
  • Proven ability to define, implement, and track metrics for system quality, reliability, safety, or user experience.
