Machine Learning Engineer, AI Driving Verification

4 weeks ago

Foster CA, United States Zoox Full time

The AI Driving Verification R&D group's mission is to design, prototype and productionize novel methods and tools for efficient modeling and simulations of complex systems at scale. We use recent advances in machine learning, statistics, optimization, and numerical methods to verify and validate our software and AI in the most challenging environments, and subsequently develop tools to enable other teams at Zoox to do the same.

Responsibilities
  • Research novel applications of machine learning and optimization to adversarial stress testing of our AI and software in simulations at scale
  • Develop optimization methods targeting black-box models, and methods for tackling the high dimensionality of parameter spaces and the actual problems themselves
  • Understand and quantify how uncertainty propagates through our systems
  • Build high-fidelity probabilistic models that reflect how real-world data looks like, and leverage them to understand the safety aspects of our simulations
  • Champion a rigorous approach to quantitative modeling and a production-level quality of your code
  • Work with other teams to enable them to use our tooling on their own
Qualifications
  • Minimum 4 years (PhD) or 6 years (Masters) of relevant work experience
  • Masters (research) or PhD in statistics, machine learning, optimization, operations research or similar, preferably with previous software engineering experience, such as significant internships.
  • Proficiency with Python's scientific stack, incl. machine learning and statistical frameworks (numpy, scipy, pandas, pytorch, pyMC3, etc.), and practical experience with distributed & GPU computing and modern SW development practices.
  • Experience with sample-efficient optimization, surrogate and other probabilistic modeling, design of experiments. Strong background in Bayesian statistics.
  • Proven track record of providing technical and thought leadership at the intersection of machine learning and optimization, and delivering impactful projects
Bonus Qualifications
  • Familiarity with C++ or Julia.
  • Rigorous verification & validation campaign experience, experience with statistical analysis of simulations, or practical experience in the autonomous driving industry
  • Relevant academic publications and strong track record of putting novel research methods into practice at scale
