Description

  • Own and evolve the offline dataset pipeline that converts logged multi-sensor data into VLM/VLA training datasets.
  • Design, implement, test, and deploy cloud-based data pipelines for geometric, semantic, scenario-level, and action-grounded annotations.
  • Develop VLM-assisted auto-labeling workflows such as open-vocabulary detection, dense captioning, and scene description generation.
  • Produce reasoning-grounded labels aligned to ego-motion and trajectories to support VLA training and explainable behavior.
  • Mine rare, difficult, and high-uncertainty driving scenarios and curate datasets that improve downstream model performance.
  • Define dataset schemas, quality metrics, and validation processes, and route model failures back into relabeling and retraining loops.
  • Partner with VLM/VLA model developers to co-define dataset specifications, quality standards, and delivery cadence.
  • Build distributed, reproducible pipelines on cloud infrastructure using columnar data formats and distributed compute.
  • Serve as project lead, mentor less-experienced engineers, run design reviews, and set coding and annotation standards.
  • Track advances in multimodal models, auto-labeling, and end-to-end autonomous driving, and translate relevant research into production systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field with 6+ years of experience, or a Master’s degree in a related technical field with 3+ years of experience.
  • Strong proficiency in computer vision and deep learning, including model training and at least two of: 2D/3D object detection, tracking, sensor fusion, semantic segmentation, BEV, or depth estimation.
  • Hands-on experience with multimodal or vision-language models, including open-vocabulary or zero-shot recognition, dense captioning, or semantic embeddings/search applied to perception data.
  • Experience building targeted datasets that measurably improve downstream model performance, including large-scale Parquet data processing with tools such as Databricks, Daft, or Pandas.
  • Experience with distributed ML and data frameworks such as PyTorch, Lightning, Ray, or Spark.
  • Experience with scaled MLOps and tooling, including experiment tracking, model registries, MLflow or Weights & Biases, and ML evaluation/quality metrics.
  • Strong Python software development skills and experience with VDI or cloud-based development environments, GitHub Actions, and Docker.
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision, exercise independent judgment, and own technical solutions across team interfaces.
  • Preferred experience with end-to-end or VLA driving models, trajectory and action grounding, or chain-of-causation datasets.
  • Preferred experience with auto-labeling foundation models, high-throughput model serving such as vLLM or SGLang, semantic retrieval/vector databases, AV data standards, cloud orchestration, visualization tools, or research/publication experience.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package with bonus and stock options.
  • 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees.
  • 401(k) plan with a 6% employer match.
  • Flexible schedule with generous paid vacation available immediately after the start date.
  • Company-wide holiday office closures.
  • AD&D and life insurance.
  • Potential sign-on payment, relocation support, and other forms of compensation depending on the position.
  • A full range of medical, financial, and other benefits.
