The Prediction & Behavior ML team is responsible for developing machine learning (ML) algorithms that learn and predict behaviors from data, applying them both on-vehicle to influence driving behavior and off-vehicle to provide ML capabilities to simulation and validation. Given the tight integration of behavior forecasting and motion planning, our team collaborates closely with the Planner team to advance overall vehicle behavior. We also work closely with our Perception, Simulation, and Systems Engineering teams to accelerate our ability to validate our driving performance.

As a Principal ML Engineer, you will lead the development of machine learning algorithms that can range from influence from onboard autonomy to offboard autonomy and validation. You will collaborate closely with teams specializing in Perception, Simulation, and Safety Validation, influencing our overall technical stack. Your role will look at problems in a way that crosses team boundaries to prototype new approaches that influence the long term technical direction of multiple organizations within the company. The impact of the role can be in the form of impacting immediate company milestones to leading forward-looking exploratory projects.
