Job Description
Develop and optimize vision-language-action models for autonomous vehicle behavior planning to enhance safe decision-making in complex driving scenarios, integrating multimodal perception, reasoning, and planning systems for real-world deployment.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and advance vision-language-action (VLA) models for onboard Behavior Planning in autonomous driving systems
- Build multimodal models to improve safe decision-making in complex driving scenarios
- Research and apply state-of-the-art approaches in multimodal representation learning and foundation models for autonomy
- Train, fine-tune, and evaluate large-scale VLAs using real-world driving data
- Optimize models for onboard deployment, focusing on inference efficiency, latency, memory usage, and runtime performance
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define training, evaluation, and deployment requirements
- Design evaluation methodologies for multimodal models in safety-critical applications
- Contribute to scalable model and data pipelines supporting rapid experimentation and deployment
Requirements
- You have an M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field.
- You have 5 years of industry and/or research experience in machine learning, with a focus on large-scale model development.
- You have strong experience with vision-language models (VLMs), multimodal foundation models, VLAs, or related architectures.
- You have hands-on experience with large-scale model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
- You have familiarity with core model components and techniques relevant to modern multimodal systems, such as Vision Transformers (ViTs) and large language models (LLMs).
- You have experience optimizing models for deployment, including inference speed, memory efficiency, and performance under onboard compute constraints.
- You have strong programming skills in Python and experience with modern deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, and/or TensorFlow.
