Senior Behavior Prediction Engineer

The role

You will own and contribute to the architecture, design, implementation, and delivery of a multi-modal prediction system. You will develop modules to predict the movements and actions of surrounding objects to enhance autonomous vehicle decision-making.

What you will do

• Develop key modules of the behavior prediction system.
• Create and maintain software infrastructure for large-scale image and LiDAR data.
• Design and write optimized pipelines for data pre-processing, model training, data post-processing, and inference.
• Train advanced behavior prediction models including LSTM and Transformer.
• Evaluate model performance and fix performance bottlenecks.
• Create scalable training and evaluation tools and infrastructure.
• Integrate behavior prediction systems into the broader autonomous driving stack.
• Conduct comprehensive system tests to ensure reliability and safety.

Required qualifications

• Ph.D. with 3+ years of industry experience or Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong experience with machine learning, particularly in the context of behavior prediction for autonomous driving
• Familiarity with machine learning models such as LSTM, Transformer, and other relevant architectures
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and C++
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch
• Familiarity with large-scale data processing and cloud computing platforms
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment

Nice to have

• Previous experience in autonomous driving or robotics
