About the role
You will:
- Develop and scale ML pipelines to process telemetry data to discover rare driving interactions
- Benchmark and validate candidate findings to separate meaningful patterns from noise
- Integrate pipelines to turn discovered patterns into concrete, testable artifacts to verify system improvements
You have:
- Currently pursuing graduate degree (Master's or PhD) in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related technical field
- Strong software engineering skills in Python and/or C++, with experience writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
- Demonstrated experience building and operating data or ML pipelines on large-scale datasets (beyond single-machine or notebook prototypes)
- Solid foundational understanding of applied machine learning, statistics, and evaluation methodology (e.g., clustering, anomaly detection, ranking, or metric design)
We prefer:
- Experience working with distributed compute systems, data processing frameworks, or large-scale data lakes (e.g., Apache Spark, Beam/Dataflow, Ray, or internal equivalents)
- Experience with unsupervised learning, outlier/anomaly detection, multimodal embeddings, or LLM/VLM-based evaluation and data filtering
- Track record of taking ambiguous, open-ended problem statements and turning them into practical, working software systems
- Prior research or project experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or spatial-temporal data analysis
