Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Scene Intelligence

As an engineer in the Scene Understanding team, you will develop advanced Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models that perceive our vehicle’s surroundings to identify hazards and make driving suggestions. You will utilize VLA models for detecting rare events and ensuring safe driving in these situations. You’ll work with state-of-the-art machine learning models that operate in real-time on our robotaxi platform with minimal latency. Collaborating with world-class engineers and researchers across sensors, planning, and other teams, you’ll have access to premium sensor data and cutting-edge infrastructure to validate your algorithms in real-world conditions., * Lead end-to-end data strategy, including mining, auto-labeling, and dataset construction to power our ML flywheel

• Lead the full post-training stack for VLMs and VLAs, including Continual Pre-training (CPT) on domain-specific driving data, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) for instruction following.
• Utilize our large-scale data pipelines and ML infrastructure to research, prototype, and deploy solutions that improve driving behavior
• Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate perception signals

• MS or PhD in Computer Science or related field
• Background in deep learning solutions for VLM and VLA models
• Track record in post-training large-scale models, CPT, SFT, RL
• Hands-on experience with production ML pipelines, including dataset creation, training frameworks, and metrics
• Expertise in Python libraries (PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, VLLM), * Deep knowledge of cutting-edge computer vision techniques
• Publications in top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA)
• Experience with integrating large language models to various tasks.
