Senior Machine Learning Engineer - ML Agents and Planning

The Offline Driving Intelligence team is responsible for developing Foundation Models for ML Agents and planning, applying them off-vehicle to provide generalization capabilities to simulation and validation. Our team collaborates closely with the Planner, Simulation and Validation teams to develop and validate our driving performance. As an ML Agents and Planning Machine Learning Engineer you will work on the bleeding edge of the industry, developing novel machine learning pipelines and models to predict the behavior of other agents in the world and planning the best course of action for the ego vehicle. In this role, you will...

You will develop new deep learning models that use imitation learning and reinforcement learning to generate driving plans for human-like agents.

You will work on novel techniques to estimate the quality of those driving plans along the dimensions of safety, progress, comfort and realism.

You will contribute to our large-scale machine learning infrastructure to discover new solutions and push the boundaries of the field

You will develop metrics and tools to analyze errors and understand improvements of our systems

You will collaborate with engineers on Perception, Planning,Simulation, and Validation to solve the overall Autonomous Driving problem.
