Key Responsibilities
Prototype research concepts into performant tools integrated into CI/CD and large-scale validation pipelines.
Advance ML research for open and closed loop simulation validation.
Develop scenario generation, coverage-guided testing, and rare-event discovery tooling.
Create robust metrics, predictors, uncertainty and Out-of-Distribution detection methods for autonomy ML systems.
Evaluate deep learning modules across perception, prediction, and planning in realistic sensor and traffic simulation.
Improve behavioral coverage and hazard-aligned metrics used in release readiness decision making.
Collaborate with Simulation, Safety, Systems Engineering, and cross-functional partners.
Author technical documentation, white papers, and contribute to validation methodology standards.
Research Focus Areas
Scenario synthesis (diffusion models, generative models, counterfactuals)
Coverage-based and fuzzing-based evaluation for autonomy behavior
Uncertainty estimation, calibration, conformal prediction, OOD detection
Robustness testing and perturbation frameworks
Test suite prioritization, failure mining, and regression analysis
Required Qualifications
MS + 5 years, or PhD + 3 years in ML, Robotics, Computer Science, or work related experience
Experience with simulation-driven ML evaluation for robotics/autonomy
Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch/JAX/TensorFlow
Demonstrated ability to translate complex ML research ideas into functional prototypes
Experience integrating ML evaluation into CI/CD pipelines
Proven research impact through published work, internal tools, or patents
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with autonomy stacks (perception/prediction/planning).
Familiarity with CARLA, SVL, DriveSim, Applied Intuition, or equivalent simulation platforms.
Knowledge of Bayesian ML, causal inference, and sequential testing.
Experience with digital twin systems and sensor simulation.
Understanding of automotive safety standards (ISO 26262, UL 4600, SOTIF).
Experience building validation dashboards and scorecards connected to release criteria.
Success Criteria
Faster detection of ML regressions with improved test efficiency
Improved uncertainty and robustness metrics that support release decisions
Prototype tools integrated into production validation workflows
Tangible contributions to simulation strategy, hazard coverage, and ML confidence scoring
