Responsibilities
- You will build large-scale validation and metrics systems using real world structured testing, state-of-the-art simulations, distributed computing, and modern data analysis technologies
- You will bridge the gap between systems engineering and state-of-the-art machine learning approaches by collaborating with partner teams, designing robust evaluation system architecture, building up scalable metrics/tools, and leading the verification and validation efforts at various levels of abstraction
- You will develop and evangelize our strategy for data development and model evaluation metrics to ensure safe and effective autonomous driving, including defining objective success criteria for ML model deployment
- You will analyze and interpret validation outcomes to provide recommendations to improve the performance of the ML models.
- You will define key performance metrics that will help Perception engineers to directly measure the impact of the new features they are developing on the end-to-end driving behavior.
- You will stay up-to-date with the latest developments in machine learning validation techniques and best practices for perception in autonomous vehicles.
- Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Robotics, electrical engineering, systems engineering or related fields
- Domain experience working on autonomous vehicles
- Experience with developing functional requirements driven software components
- Experience designing and building evaluation systems for classical and deep-learning models, including linking standard model metrics to end-to-end system behavior and key business metrics
- Strong understanding of statistical analysis, experimental design, and hypothesis testing, including parametrics & non-parametric testing
- Fluent with Python-based data and statistics frameworks, e.g. numpy, scipy, pandas, statsmodels and data visualization tools, e.g. matplotlib, seaborn, plotly
- Experience with data query languages and common databases, e.g. SQL, NoSQL, Databases
- Experience with automation functional safety standard such as ISO 21448, ISO26262, ASIL, DO-178B/C, etc
- Have performed hazard analysis using one or more of the following methods: System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), qualitative or quantitative Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP), Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), etc
- Experience on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) stack components of an autonomous vehicle, such as perception, prediction and planner modules
- Experience building or evaluating Machine Learning (ML) models that operate on raw sensor data (detection, classification, tracking, etc.)
- Experience handling big data, including exposure to distributed data and/or compute, e.g. Hadoop, Spark, Hive, MapReduce, Databricks
