Senior Machine Learning Research Scientist, Metrics
The ML metrics team focuses on data-driven metrics development for systems and subsystems to guide training and evaluation of our neural networks. The team charter is centered around two core concepts. First: how should we score the AV system as a whole in a way that is compliant with legal, ethical and ride comfort related constraints? Second: given such system level score, how do we score subsystems in a way that informs progress towards the system level goals.
The Motional Pittsburgh office is located in the new Hazelwood Green development at 4734 Second Avenue, a culmination of the city’s goal of restoring an economic driver to the neighborhood in a thoughtful, inclusive, and sustainable way. With views along the Monongahela river, the Pittsburgh office is in the heart of this new state of the art development.
What You'll Be Doing
- Work with system engineering and metrics teams to develop data-driven metrics to score the AV behavior at a system level.
- Conduct variational analysts on the system architecture graph to understand what aspects of the subsystem performance matter at the system level.
- Conduct bottom-up analysis to derive metrics targeted at key aspects of safety.
- Deploy code and systems to put metrics into production.
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of industry experience.
- Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Solid understanding of fundamental statistics and machine learning concepts.
- Track record of driving research projects from start to completion, including conception, problem definition, experimentation, iteration, and finally publication or productization.
- Data science and system evaluation experience.
- Strong communication and presentation skills - can explain complicated topics and ideas in a clear and concise manner.
- Fluent in python or C++.
Motional is making driverless vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality.
Our team is commercializing a world-class driverless system. The Motional team is behind some of the industry’s largest leaps forward in the last decade, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world’s first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world’s most-established public robotaxi fleet. Strategically formed by Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, Motional is fundamentally changing how people move through their lives.
