Job description

Job Summary:
XPENG is a leading smart technology company at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies into its vehicles. As a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will architect the transition from behavior cloning to intelligent, zero-shot decision-making in diverse global markets.
Responsibilities:
• Architectural Leadership: Lead the design of end-to-end VLA architectures, bridging multi-modal perception with high-level linguistic reasoning and precise action generation.
• World Model Development: Drive R&D in generative world models (latent dynamics) to create high-fidelity, controllable driving simulations for closed-loop training and evaluation.
• Policy Evolution: Apply Advanced RL (Online/Offline) and IL to refine driving policies, focusing on long-horizon planning and complex multi-agent interactions.
• Scaling & Data Strategy: Define scaling laws for driving foundation models, overseeing data curation, automated labeling, and post-training at a multi-billion parameter scale.
• Global Generalization: Lead the model’s adaptation strategy for overseas road conditions, ensuring robust performance across varying traffic laws and driving cultures.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5-8 years of expertise in Deep Learning, with a significant track record in VLM, VLA, or Embodied AI.
• Proven experience in training and deploying Foundation Models (Transformers, LLMs) at scale.
• Deep understanding of Sequential Decision Making, World Models, or Policy Gradient methods.
• Mastery of PyTorch and expertise in distributed training (DeepSpeed, Megatron, etc.).
• A 'Product-First' mindset: The ability to balance cutting-edge research with the deterministic requirements of L4 production vehicles.
Company:
XPENG is a leading Chinese Smart EV company that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets Smart EVs that appeal to the large and growing base of technology-savvy middle-class consumers. Founded in 2014, the company is headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong, CN, , with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
