Machine Learning Research Scientist: Generative Models for Autonomous Systems

6 days ago

Mountain View, California, United States Nuro Full time
About the Role

Nuro is a leading autonomous technology company that exists to better everyday life through robotics. We are seeking a highly skilled Research Scientist to join our behavior team and contribute to solving the hardest autonomy problems.

In this role, you will explore novel and advanced machine learning methods to solve practical real-world challenging problems in autonomous driving. You will focus on researching and developing state-of-the-art generative models, with an emphasis on diffusion models, and bring advancements in this field to the AV 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.
