Your focus will be on developing innovative strategies in active learning, data curation, and quality research to enhance our core behavior prediction, planning, foundation models, LLMs, and VLMs.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and implementing novel active learning methods to refine data selection, filtering, and mixing strategies.
  • Leading initiatives to improve data quality, detect anomalies, and manage out-of-distribution examples.
  • Collaborating with autonomy teams to build effective and efficient ML data pipelines and processes.
  • Experimenting quickly, failing fast, and publishing success stories.
  • Working with data collection and labeling teams to set a high-quality bar for incoming data.
What You Need to Succeed

To excel in this role, you should have:

  • 3+ years of experience working with machine learning using deep networks and large volumes of data.
  • Subject matter expertise and research in areas like Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Robotics, and state-of-the-art ML for autonomous driving and data utilization.
  • Strong problem-solving and programming skills in C++ and Python.
  • Expertise in at least one of the following domains: Active learning, curriculum learning, model uncertainty, density estimation, anomaly detection, or data selection and quality research for LLMs and VLMs.
  • An M.Sc. or Ph.D. focusing on Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated research publications in major conferences (RSS, ICRA, CoRL, CVPR, ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, ICCV, AAAI).
Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive total compensation package, including an annual base salary of $167,200 - $250,800, depending on experience and qualifications. You'll also be eligible for an annual performance bonus, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package.
