Perception Machine Learning Engineer
Job description
The Perception team builds the system which learns the spatial-temporal representation and their semantic meanings of the surrounding environment of the autonomously driving vehicle (ADV), i.e., the system that “perceives” the world around the car. We work jointly with downstream teams on the optimization and integration into the Waymo Driver. We conduct our own research to address real-world problems and collaborate with research teams at Alphabet.
In this hybrid role you will report to a Technical Lead Manager.
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver.
Job responsibilities
- Apply machine learning techniques to build multi-modal sensor fusion architectures and spatial-temporal representation learners for object detection and tracking, occupancy and semantic segmentation, road…
- Develop scalable recipes for large data, large model training running on Alphabet’s compute infrastructure, create methods and recipes for pre-training and post-training.
- Develop methods and recipes for distributed fine-tuning enabling multiple developers to simultaneously improve the model, develop methods and recipes to avoid regression against a production system.
- Develop and maintain model evaluation recipes and metrics for measuring and improving performance of pre-trained and fine-tuned models
Job requirements
- Bachelors in Computer Science or a similar discipline, or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience
- 3+ years experience in Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision
- Experience with Python
- Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX
