Base Salary

$312k - $370k/yr

Responsibilities

  • Build, train, fine-tune, and adapt computer vision and scene-understanding models for offline measurement.
  • Improve model accuracy and generalization across vehicle platforms, geographies, and driving conditions.
  • Use larger models, higher compute budgets, bidirectional temporal context, and multi-task or joint representation learning.
  • Define benchmarks, quality bars, metrics, error analysis, and correctness criteria for model evaluation.
  • Ensure results are statistically defensible and suitable for validation pipelines and safety cases.
  • Collaborate with on-vehicle modeling, evaluation, data curation, and simulation teams, while mentoring other engineers.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of ML engineering experience, including training and shipping deep-learning models in production.
  • Hands-on experience training modern computer vision models, including transformer-based and multimodal or VLM architectures, for detection, segmentation, classification, or scene understanding.
  • Experience adapting or fine-tuning large pretrained or foundation models and training shared representations across multiple tasks or objectives.
  • Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks, especially PyTorch, with strong software-engineering practices and comfort with large-scale training.
  • Ability to independently lead significant modeling workstreams, collaborate across teams, and mentor less experienced engineers.
  • Ability to define and interpret metrics that demonstrate genuine model improvement.
  • Preferred experience with 3D scene understanding, geometric and semantic perception, driving-scene enrichment, offline modeling, auto-labeling, model distillation, temporal or world models, autonomous vehicles or robotics, physical-system validation, fleet-scale data, or distributed training infrastructure.

Benefits

  • Full-time position based in the Sunnyvale office.
  • Hybrid working policy combining office and workshop collaboration with working from home.
  • Competitive equity package.
  • Inclusive interview experience with accommodations available upon request.
