    Job description

    Reporting to the CEO directly, you are responsible for developing and optimize cutting-edge autonomy technologies for our next generation vehicle product.
    As a venture-backed startup, we are pioneering the next generation of autonomous driving with AI-Defined Vehicles - a leap beyond the latest software-defined vehicles. Our mission is to build the world's most intelligent autonomous vehicle that caters to your every need, before you even know it.
    We are looking for a Sr. Machine Learning Engineer to develop and optimize cutting-edge autonomy. If you have industry experience and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of machine learning, LLM/LVMs, and autonomous systems, we want you on our team.
    Role Description
    • Develop, fine-tune, and optimize deep learning systems for autonomy, perception, and decision-making.
    • Research and implement multi-modal AI systems, combining vision, language, and reinforcement learning.
    • Enhance self-supervised and semi-supervised learning methods for training models on large-scale driving data.
    • Collaborate with software, simulation, and cloud engineering teams to deploy ML models into production-grade autonomy stacks.
    • Design and maintain scalable data pipelines for ingesting and processing sensor fusion data (LiDAR, radar, cameras).
    • Optimize model inference for real-time performance on embedded and cloud-based platforms.
    • Conduct model evaluations, performance tuning, and failure analysis to improve robustness and generalization.
    Qualifications
    • Industry (non-academic) experience is required, post graduation.
    • 3+ years of experience in machine learning, deep learning, or AI engineering.
    • Expertise in LLM/LVM model architectures, training techniques, and fine-tuning.
    • Strong background in autonomous systems, reinforcement learning, or robotics.
    • Hands-on experience with computer vision for perception tasks (e.g., object detection, segmentation, sensor fusion).
    • Proficiency in Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and deep learning frameworks.
    • Experience with AWS (S3, EC2, SageMaker, Lambda, etc.) for ML training and deployment.
    • Knowledge of data engineering practices for large-scale ML pipelines.
    • Strong algorithmic and problem-solving skills, with experience optimizing models for embedded and cloud-based environments.
    • Experience working with autonomous driving stacks.
    • Familiarity with distributed training, federated learning, and on-device AI optimization.
    • Exposure to self-supervised learning, generative AI, and multi-modal architectures.
    • Understanding of simulation environments for AI model validation.
    • Knowledge of automotive systems and functional safety requirements is preferred.
