TL;DR · Staff AI/ML Engineer, Future Sensing, Embodied AI

The Staff AI/ML Engineer - Future Sensing, Embodied AI joins the Embodied AI team to develop machine learning solutions for safe autonomous vehicle behavior. As a senior individual contributor, you will drive end-to-end technical work to inform next-generation sensing architecture decisions, focusing on multi-modal sensor fusion using cameras, lidar, and radar. You will design and implement perception models for detection, tracking, and localization while defining robust metrics to evaluate performance parity. Key responsibilities include leading model development across data curation, training, and deployment, as well as building infrastructure for large-scale data processing. You must possess deep experience with PyTorch, Python, NumPy, Pandas, and Apache Spark. This role solves complex technical problems regarding sensor selection, system integration, and translating research into scalable onboard perception solutions for autonomous driving.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement AI/ML solutions for autonomous driving and future sensing objectives.
  • Lead technical studies on sensor selection, configuration, placement, and multi-modal sensor fusion.
  • Architect and evaluate perception models for detection, tracking, localization, and uncertainty estimation.
  • Define robust model-level and system-level metrics to quantify performance and sensor configurations.
  • Lead model development efforts including data curation, training, validation, and performance optimization.
  • Partner with simulation teams to define synthetic-data and sensor-model requirements for adverse scenarios.
  • Build infrastructure and pipelines for large-scale data processing and model training.
  • Translate ambiguous architecture questions into concrete experiments and technical go/no-go evidence packages.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong experience building and scaling AI/ML systems for perception, autonomy, robotics, or related real-world systems.
  • Deep hands-on experience with modern deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and strong proficiency in Python.
  • Experience working with model training pipelines, large-scale data workflows, and infrastructure for efficient model iteration.
  • Strong data processing skills using tools such as NumPy, Pandas, and Apache Spark.
  • Strong experience with multi-modal sensor fusion and perception pipelines using cameras, radar, lidar, or related modalities.
  • Experience defining metrics and evaluation methodologies for perception or autonomy systems.
  • Experience deploying or preparing ML models for production environments and understanding end-to-end deployment workflows.
