• Experience deploying ML models into real-world or safety-critical environments.
• Demonstrated ability to define architecture and drive large technical initiatives across teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with autonomous driving, robotics, or embodied AI systems.
• Background in trajectory planning, motion planning, or behavior modeling.
• Experience with large-scale training infrastructure and distributed ML pipelines.
• Experience with simulation-based training or evaluation of driving policies.
