Collaborate with perception, and planning teams to integrate RL models into the unified autonomous driving stack.
Benchmark RL model performance against imitation learning baselines in complex urban environments.
Optimize and deploy RL models to production-grade automotive hardware.
What we need to see
BS or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
12+ years of experieence in the related field.
Solid background in Reinforcement Learning, including policy gradient methods (PPO, GRPO), actor-critic architectures, on-policy and off-policy RL
Proficiency in PyTorch or TensorFlow and real experience with RL-related algorithm
Experience in C++ and Python development for real-time systems.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of implementing and debugging complex RL systems.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Background in shipping autonomous driving features or embodied AI.
Experience with generative models (Flow Matching, Diffusion, or AR-based decoders) in the context of policy representation or trajectory modeling.
Experience with training policies on their own rollout distributions and handling the compounding error problems inherent in autonomous driving.
Experience working with large-scale data flywheels, including mining scenarios from fleet telemetry logs, auto-labeling pipelines, and automated performance tracking.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary range for this position is 224,000 USD – 356,500 USD.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
