Autonomous Systems Research Scientist: Generative Models and Diffusion
2 days ago
About Nuro
Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company that exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, the company has developed a core technology called the Nuro Driver, an integrated autonomous driving system consisting of state-of-the-art, AI-first software and custom-built sense and compute hardware.
About the Role
In this role, you will be a key member of the behavior team focused on solving the hardest autonomy problems. You will explore novel and advanced machine learning methods to solve practical real-world challenging problems in autonomous driving. Your primary focus will be on researching and developing state-of-the-art generative models, with an emphasis on diffusion models, and bringing advancements in this field to the autonomous vehicle domain.
About the Work
- Work on scalable generative models, with a focus on diffusion models for behavior models.
- Learn a distribution of future behaviors of our autonomous vehicle and other on-road agents (e.g. pedestrians, vehicles, cyclists). Apply the model to various tasks such as planning, prediction, data generation, simulation, and so on.
- Research state-of-the-art algorithms to improve generative models' performance and optimize their latency. This includes alignment with reward/cost models, controllability, model scaling up and distillation, mode recovery, fine-tuning with closed-loop RL, etc.
- Research experiences we are looking for are generative models and diffusion models for autonomous driving and robotics. However, experiences in video generation, text-to-image generation, image in-painting/out-painting, etc. are also welcome.
- Collaborate across autonomy teams while developing holistic solutions to top autonomy challenges. Understand issues, propose ideas, prioritize work and develop solutions to solve them.
- Derive practical solutions and deploy them on the NuroBot.
About You
You have deep expertise and prior experience in some or many of the following areas:
- You have a Ph.D. (preferable) or M.Sc. with 3 years experience on generative models.
- You have subject matter expertise and research in one or more of the following areas: scalable generative and diffusion models, generative model alignment with reward/cost models, controllability, distillation, mode recovery, fine-tuning with closed-loop RL, applications to autonomous driving and robotics, and other experiences such as video generation, text-to-image generation, in-painting/out-painting and so on.
- You have strong problem-solving and programming skills in Python and/or C++
- Strong culture fit and good team player
- Demonstrated research publications in top conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, RSS, CoRL etc.
Compensation and Benefits
At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package. For this position, the reasonably expected pay range is between $138,225 and $207,575 for the level at which this job has been scoped. Your base pay will depend on several factors, including your experience, qualifications, education, location, and skills. In the event that you are considered for a different level, a higher or lower pay range would apply. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.
Equal Opportunity Employer
Nuro is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and expressly prohibits any form of workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics.
