Director of Data Pipeline & Simulation

Overview:

As the Director of Data Pipeline & Simulation, you will lead the development of large-scale data infrastructure, simulation technologies, and validation frameworks that support the continuous improvement and safe deployment of our autonomous driving systems. You will define the technical vision, build and lead multidisciplinary teams spanning autonomy data platforms, neural simulation, HD mapping, and system evaluation. Working closely with our end-to-end driving, platform, integration, and safety teams, you will establish a scalable data flywheel that transforms real-world fleet data into high-quality training datasets, realistic simulation environments, and rigorous validation evidence. This is a senior technical leadership role with ownership of the data and simulation ecosystem, as well as independent evaluation and release readiness of autonomous driving models.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision and roadmap for end-to-end driving and behavior modeling: which architectures, which training paradigms, which data, in which order, and revise it as the field and the fleet data change.

• Build and run the large-scale training operation: the loop that takes a continuously growing stream of fleet data through curation, training, evaluation and release on a regular cadence.

• Hire and lead team leads and engineers; set the standards for experiments, reviews, model cards and release readiness.

• Oversee progress across different teams with real technical depth.

• Decide, with the Safety & Evaluation lead, what "better" means before each training cycle, and accept the gate's verdict when it says a model is not ready.

• Report program status, risks, budget and headcount to the Division Director.
