Responsibilities

Design and develop our strategy for data development and model evaluation metrics to ensure safe and effective autonomous driving, including defining objective success criteria for ML model deployment

Support data-centric AI by: exploring how data impacts ML model performance; guide data labeling strategies; build frameworks for measuring and improving on label quality; develop mining and active learning strategies.

Define key performance metrics that will help Perception engineers to directly measure the impact of the new features they are developing on the end-to-end driving behavior.

Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in machine learning validation techniques and best practices for perception in autonomous vehicles.

Qualifications

Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in CS, statistics, mathematics or relevant fields, including statistics (bayesian, parametric statistics, non-parametric, experiment design) and their python-based frameworks (numpy, scipy)

Experience designing and building evaluation systems for classical and deep-learning models, including linking standard model metrics to end-to-end system behavior and key business metrics

Experience building and presenting summary metrics to key stakeholders, including advanced knowledge of data visualization techniques

Experience handling big data, including exposure to distributed data and compute (e.g. Hadoop, Spark, Hive, MapReduce, Databricks), and traditional data query & manipulation (e.g. SQL, NoSQL, Databases)

Experience adhering to software best practices, e.g. unit testing, DRY, abstraction, modularity, clean interfaces

Bonus Qualifications

Experience building and/or evaluating ML models that operate on raw sensor data (detection, classification, tracking), including ethical AI validation

Experience in the automotive industry or autonomous driving systems

Experience with Databricks

Knowledge of perception systems or computer vision
