Stack Av Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

WhatYou'llDo (Responsibilities)

• Architect and implement metrics and analyses to introspect autonomous driving software performance atinterfaces across the autonomy stack; partner closely with autonomy developers and systems engineers.

• Design and implement analysis algorithms that summarize, aggregate, and cluster metrics produced by simulations and on-road runs of the autonomy stack.

• Propose and develop new statistical and ML methods to quantify performance andidentifypatterns of system and subsystem behavior across diverse scenes and operational domains.

• Develop and apply methods to introspect the operation of ML components in the autonomy stack, including evaluation ofperception, prediction, and planning models.

• Build andmaintainautonomyevaluationdashboards and interactive reports that provide clear, explainable insights (e.g., trend analysis, drift detection, scenario coverage) for development, verification, and leadership.

• Leverage vision-language models (VLMs) and large language models (LLMs), whereappropriate, to classify autonomy performance,identifycritical scenarios, and prioritize validation efforts, integrating human-in-the-loop review where needed.

• Maintain a high technical standard through thoughtful system design, code reviews, testing, observability, and adherence to software-engineering best practices.

• Interface with cross-organizational partners to articulate requirements, resolve handoff issues, and share best practices around evaluation, metrics, and experiment design.
