Machine Learning Engineer - ML Agents and Planning

Zoox Foster City, CA
Full-time $189k - $270k Posted 8 days ago

Role overview

The Offline Driving Intelligence team is responsible for developing Foundation Models for ML Agents and planning, applying them off-vehicle to provide generalization capabilities to simulation and validation. Our team collaborates closely with the Planner, Simulation and Validation teams to develop and validate our driving performance. As an ML Agents and Planning Machine Learning Engineer you will work on the bleeding edge of the industry, developing novel machine learning pipelines and models to predict the behavior of other agents in the world and planning the best course of action for the ego vehicle.

Responsibilities

  • check_circle You will develop new deep learning models that use imitation learning and reinforcement learning to generate driving plans for human-like agents.
  • check_circle You will work on novel techniques to estimate the quality of those driving plans along the dimensions of safety, progress, comfort and realism.
  • check_circle You will contribute to our large-scale machine learning infrastructure to discover new solutions and push the boundaries of the field
  • check_circle You will develop metrics and tools to analyze errors and understand improvements of our systems
  • check_circle You will collaborate with engineers on Perception, Planning,Simulation, and Validation to solve the overall Autonomous Driving problem.

Basic qualifications

  • PhD degree in computer science or related field or master's degree and 5+ years of professional experience in a relevant field.
  • Experience in Planning and / or Prediction using Reinforcement Learning techniques
  • Experience with training and deploying transformer-based model architectures
  • Experience with production Machine Learning pipelines: dataset creation, training frameworks, metrics pipelines
  • Fluency in Python with a basic understanding of C++

Preferred qualifications

  • Top tier publications (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR)

Benefits

  • check_circle $189,000 - $270,000 a year
  • check_circle Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
