  • Design effective model architectures and sophisticated training techniques, leveraging all the inputs from our sensor stack and the overall large scale data we have at Zoox.
  • Drive end-to-end ML solutions from research to production, utilizing Zoox's extensive data pipelines and infrastructure to improve autonomous driving capabilities
  • Collaborate with perception, planning, safety, and systems teams to integrate your models into the vehicle's decision-making pipeline
  • Validate and optimize your solutions using real-world driving scenarios, directly contributing to the safety and reliability of Zoox's autonomous system
  • Qualifications

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related technical field
  • Demonstrated experience training and deploying large language models (LLMs)
  • Experience building and maintaining ML training pipelines, including data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation
  • Proficiency in Python and ML libraries (PyTorch, NumPy) demonstrated through professional or research projects
  • Experience training with large scale datasets (e.g. tens of millions of videos)
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Publications in top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA)
  • Experience with autonomous robotics systems
