Senior​/ML Infra Engineer — Onsite

About the role:

We're looking for high-energy, creative, and collaborative candidates who want to work in a fast-paced, execution-oriented team. You will play an essential role in helping accelerate the development and deployment of our AV software stack. This position has a strong technical background, hands-on software engineering experience, and a knack for solving hard problems.

This role is onsite 4 days a week at our Mountain View, CA office!

What you'll do:

• Own development of ML models end-to-end from data strategy, initial development, optimization, production platform validation, and fine-tuning based on metrics and on-road performance
• Lead efficient neural network development including quantization, pruning, sparsification, compression, and novel differentiable compute primitives
• Build the foundation models for the on-vehicle and offline applications;
  Develop metrics and tools to analyze errors and understand improvements in our systems
• Train and evaluate DNNs for the purpose of benchmarking neural network optimization algorithms – optimizing for latency and power consumption
• Design and implement a horizontally scalable, high-throughput cloud inference pipeline for evaluation and KPI calculation
• Streamline workflows to allow creation of verified, deployable artifacts from annotated data
• Support data preparation for training: building a horizontally scalable data preparation pipeline that is simple to use and doesn't delay training
• Support development of tools for introspection and visualization to understand what is going well and what can be improved in our work

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning or relevant field
• Master's Degree with a focus on Machine Learning, Statistics, Optimization or a related field (preferred) or relevant work experience
• 7+ years of experience working with large ML projects and/or building production ML systems
• Excellent C++, Python, and/or CUDA programming skills
• Familiarity with modern machine learning environments such as Pytorch
• Expert experience with optimization techniques from high-level ML algorithms to low-level HW utilization
• Experience in software architecture, system performance, latency, and data flow
• Expert experience in machine learning workflows: data sampling and curation, pre-processing, model training, ablation studies, evaluation, deployment, inference optimization
• Strong analytical skills, especially for performance troubleshooting (e.g. profiling, roofline model)
• Industry experience in building large-scale ML pipelines
• Experience with cloud ML training pipelines in Azure (preferred)
• High Performance Computing experience (preferred)
