TL;DR · Staff ML Validation Applied Scientist

As a Staff ML Validation Applied Scientist on the Software Validation team within the Autonomous Vehicle organization, you will lead applied machine learning research to improve verification and validation of ML components for autonomous driving at scale. Your daily tasks include building AI validation critics and agentic workflows using LLMs and model-based agents to automate scenario review and anomaly detection, prototyping scalable tools from ML research, and driving simulation-based evaluation of deep learning modules in realistic traffic scenarios. You will need strong proficiency in Python and C++, experience with modern ML for robotic systems, hands-on use of AI agents and workflow orchestration, and the ability to design behavioral metrics for complex ML systems. This role requires a background in autonomous vehicles or ADAS and experience with simulation environments and large datasets for ML evaluation.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development of ML-centric validation strategies for autonomous vehicle components.
  • Build AI validation critics and agentic workflows using LLMs and model-based agents.
  • Transform advanced ML research into scalable tools integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Drive large-scale simulation-based evaluation of deep learning modules in AV.
  • Provide technical leadership across multiple teams to enhance automation-first software.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related field.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++ with production system development over large datasets.
  • Deep understanding and evaluation experience with modern ML for robotic systems.
  • Hands-on experience using AI agents, LLM-based tools, and workflow orchestration.
  • Ability to design behavioral and ML metrics for validation of complex systems.
  • Background in autonomous vehicles or vehicle development with ADAS expertise.
  • Experience building verification and validation tools for safety-critical ML systems.
