## Description

Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We're building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team will be focused on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race-and Uber has an edge: We collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match (millions of Uber trips every hour across cities, conditions, and edge cases create the data autonomy has been missing). We will build platforms that harness scale and real-world complexity to reimagine how the world moves.

You will be an ML engineer in AV Labs conducting frontier research for autonomous vehicles. The ideal candidate will formulate research problems, design and evaluate novel modeling approaches, and influence the direction of autonomous vehicles research through strong scientific judgment and execution. You will work cross-functionally with engineers from AV Labs and partner engineering teams.

What You Will Do

 * Design and develop frontier techniques for autonomous vehicle research.
 * Lead the end-to-end model lifecycle and system architecture-from data and training through evaluation, deployment, and monitoring-across upstream and downstream dependencies.
 * Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentorship, and hands-on execution.
 * Collaborate closely with engineering teams and product teams across AV Labs.
 * Publish and present original research at top-tier CV and ML conferences.
