$151,000 - $258,000Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer with expertise in ML-first behavior prediction and planning. You will develop ML-first behavior modules that can predict the future trajectories and behaviors of road users and predict their interactions. You will work closely with the perception team on areas such as training data generation, and with the planning team on ML-based planner development. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with our research teams on state-of-the-art architectures and techniques. Your work will have a tangible impact, deployed across diverse domains including passenger vehicles, trucking, and mining. In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry.
