Description

  • Architect and train teacher-student models for multimodal sensor data.
  • Develop training pipelines for model distillation and compressed model evaluation.
  • Build and scale reinforcement learning workflows for policy learning and reasoning systems.
  • Optimize distilled and RL models for real-time inference across GPU and CPU clusters.
  • Collaborate with backend engineers to deploy models into production.
  • Implement model versioning, A/B testing, and monitoring to detect performance regressions.
  • Research and prototype agentic workflows, chain-of-thought prompting, and goal-directed behavior.
  • Establish reliability patterns for graceful degradation, fault tolerance, and cost optimization.
  • Work with ML scientists, data engineers, and autonomy teams to turn research into scalable systems.
  • Mentor junior engineers on model training, evaluation, deployment, and production best practices.

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 6+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning engineering focused on post-training, optimization, and deployment.
  • Strong experience with model distillation or teacher-student training, including loss functions, training strategies, and evaluation of compressed models.
  • Proven experience with reinforcement learning in production or research settings, including policy optimization, reward design, simulation environments, and RL-based reasoning.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including testing, CI/CD, containerization, and system design.
  • Experience deploying ML models in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and optimizing them for inference.
  • Demonstrated ability to ship production-grade ML systems and mentor team members.
  • MS/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field is preferred.
  • Experience with agentic systems, autonomous reasoning, chain-of-thought models, or LLM-based planning is preferred.
  • Background in autonomous driving, robotics, or real-time decision-making systems is preferred.
  • Familiarity with multimodal learning, sensor fusion, or embodied AI is preferred.
  • Experience with active learning loops, ML-based data mining, or contrastive learning is preferred.
  • Knowledge of model serving tools such as TF Serving, Triton, or TorchServe and MLOps platforms is preferred.
  • Publications or open-source contributions in RL, distillation, or efficient ML are preferred.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $172,000 to $229,000 USD base pay.
  • Additional compensation may include a bonus and/or company equity.
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Health savings accounts.
  • Life insurance.
  • Pet insurance.
  • Flexible hybrid schedule with in-office collaboration or fully remote work option.
