  • Integrating classical and end-to-end hybrid systems, ensuring seamless scalability from research to production.
  • Collaborating with a world-class team of engineers to build a unified production platform that sets new standards in the industry.

What we need to see:

We are looking for engineers who can build comprehensive systems and not just individual components. You should have:

  • A BS or higher in an engineering or technical field (Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) or equivalent work experience.
  • At least 6 years of hands-on experience in developing production autonomous driving systems.
  • Proficiency in forecasting, scheduling, and control frameworks for autonomous vehicles.
  • Experience with AI foundation models, large-scale ML systems, and end-to-end driving models.
  • A strong background in robotics or embodied AI systems and system architecture from concept to scale.

Successful candidates will bring deep technical expertise in autonomy architecture, ML systems, or robotics platforms and thrive on solving complex real-world problems. If you're ambitious and have a proven track record of developing flawless, world-class systems, this is the place for you!
