As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer – Camera Models, you will develop and deploy machine learning models for camera-based perception, ensuring safe and reliable autonomous driving in real-world freight environments.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy deep learning models for camera-based perception (e.g., object detection, segmentation, depth estimation, scene understanding)
• Own end-to-end model development for scoped areas, from data curation and training to evaluation and deployment
• Write production-quality ML code to support scalable training, evaluation, and inference pipelines
• Analyze model performance across diverse driving scenarios, identify failure modes, and improve robustness and generalization
• Contribute to and improve large-scale training pipelines, including dataset preparation, distributed training, and experiment tracking
• Partner with data teams to improve dataset quality, including labeling strategies and coverage of edge cases
• Collaborate with perception, simulation, and validation teams to evaluate and integrate models into the autonomy stack
• Improve tooling, workflows, and infrastructure to accelerate experimentation and model iteration
• Contribute to model architecture decisions and technical discussions within the team
• Mentor junior engineers on implementation, debugging, and best practices

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related technical field with 6+ years of industry experience, OR Master's degree with 3+ years OR PhD with 1+ years of experience
• Experience developing and deploying deep learning models for computer vision or perception systems
• Strong programming skills in Python and PyTorch, with experience writing production-quality ML code
