Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.



Meet the team:

As part of an organization at the forefront of autonomous driving, we develop trajectory prediction & planning networks that enable the truck to make data-driven decisions to the scene around it. The Learned Vehicle Intent team works in partnership with Perception and Control teams to plan out the safest possible trajectory given the traffic, weather and environment around the truck.


What you'll do:

Design, develop, optimize and deploy machine learning models for trajectory planning in our autonomous trucks. The Senior ML Engineer will work closely with the rest of the machine Learning teams and the Vehicle Intent Department to advance our capabilities in time-series forecasting for autonomous driving. The candidate will participate in all aspects of the software lifecycle, from defining the requirements, planning and designing the model, to implementing and testing, and finally, deployment and maintenance.
