What this role is

This role leads the development of large-scale data pipelines and machine learning systems that extract and categorize safety-critical events from autonomous vehicle sensor logs, feeding a curated library that accelerates perception and simulation across the company. You'll architect distributed systems for petabyte-scale multi-modal data processing, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate cross-functionally to define what scenarios matter most for safe autonomous trucking.
