Senior / Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Scene Intelligence

Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. As an engineer in the Scene Understanding team, you will develop advanced Vision-Language-Action models to perceive the vehicle's surroundings and ensure safe driving. You'll collaborate with world-class engineers and utilize cutting-edge infrastructure to validate your algorithms.

Responsibilities:

• Design and train Vision-Language-Action (VLA) solutions for robotaxis
• Lead end-to-end data strategy, including mining, auto-labeling, and dataset construction to power our ML flywheel
• Lead the full post-training stack for VLMs and VLAs, including Continual Pre-training (CPT) on domain-specific driving data, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) for instruction following
• Utilize our large-scale data pipelines and ML infrastructure to research, prototype, and deploy solutions that improve driving behavior
• Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate perception signals
