About the Team

The Vehicle Behaviors team is responsible for improving the decision-making capabilities and reliability of the AV in real world scenarios. Working broadly across domains and planning components, this team owns everything from ML-based Agent Predictions and Ego Trajectory Generation to safety-critical and heuristic-driven components like Trajectory Selection, to off-board metrics and tools used to measure performance and prevent regressions. This team has some of the most visible, high-impact work on the AV's performance and plenty of challenging problems still to solve.

About the Role

We are looking for strong machine learning engineers to help in developing and deploying motion planning components for next generation self-driving systems. This requires strong ownership over critical components that cross domain boundaries. Candidates need to understand, experiment, improve, and field state-of-the-art machine learning systems in real-time, safety-critical applications. We are focused on building a product. Candidates should have a mission-driven mindset and customer-centric obsession to deliver a compelling product, and be able to work with significant cross-functional interactions. You might be a good fit for this role if you have experience with any of the following :

• Deploying state of the art ML models or architectures to solve planning problems on fielded products
• Refining ML outputs for use in down-stream planning components
• Integrating ML-based planning techniques side-by-side with heuristic approaches in production
• Building data mining, data introspection, or other critical ML tooling
