TL;DR · Senior AI/ML Engineer

As a Senior Research Scientist specializing in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs), you will join the AI Research organization to advance machine learning for autonomous driving. Your day-to-day involves designing, training, and prototyping state-of-the-art foundational models that enhance vehicles' semantic understanding and decision-making capabilities. You will optimize these models for onboard hardware constraints through techniques like quantization and architecture search while collaborating with perception, planning, and control teams to integrate your work into the vehicle software stack. Additionally, you will contribute to the technical roadmap by identifying high-impact research areas and mentoring junior team members. This role requires expertise in modern ML architectures such as transformers and multimodal systems, strong Python programming skills, and a track record of impactful AI/ML research or industry contributions.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Vision-Language-Action models for autonomous vehicles.
  • Optimize large foundational models for efficient execution on vehicle edge hardware through techniques like quantization and distillation.
  • Integrate VLM/VLA outputs into the active vehicle software stack by collaborating with perception, planning, and control teams.
  • Identify high-impact research areas to contribute to the technical roadmap of AI projects.
  • Mentor junior researchers and engineers in machine learning and robotics technologies.
  • Publish peer-reviewed research at top-tier global AI conferences.

What we're looking for

  • Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in AI/ML research and applied development.
  • Expertise in modern ML architectures including transformers, generative AI, and multimodal systems.
  • Strong programming skills in Python with experience in model optimization techniques.
  • Proven track record of impactful research in top-tier conferences or industry-leading systems.
  • Experience in autonomous vehicle (AV) or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
