## Description

We are seeking a foundational Staff Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer to design and build the large-scale ML training infrastructure that powers our next-generation autonomous transport models. In this role, you will design the high-performance training pipelines and validation environments that enable our world-class robotics and ML researchers to iterate rapidly. You will own the challenge of scaling distributed GPU workloads to support a high volume of concurrent training runs across an expanding vehicle fleet, building a platform that can flexibly run on whatever GPU capacity is available, regardless of provider or environment, directly accelerating innovation across the platform.

 * Training Infrastructure: Design, implement, and scale repeatable machine learning infrastructure utilizing Kubernetes to support large-scale distributed GPU training of novel neural networks.
 * Distributed Computing & Orchestration: Leverage distributed compute frameworks to efficiently manage and execute a high volume of complex ML training jobs concurrently across large GPU clusters.
 * Experiment Tracking & MLOps: Integrate advanced model management and experiment tracking tools to provide researchers with deep observability into training metrics and run performance.
 * Data Engineering Pipelines: Build and optimize high-throughput data ingestion pipelines to seamlessly stream petabyte-scale multi-sensor vehicle logs into training environments.
 * Validation at Scale: Architect robust infrastructure for autonomous model validation and continuous integration testing, ensuring new vehicle policy releases are entirely regression-free.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with core robotics engineers and machine learning researchers to eliminate workflow bottlenecks and accelerate the deploy-to-vehicle lifecycle.
