Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead functional and system safety engineering for a Level 4 autonomous trucking platform. Responsibilities include hazard analysis, safety requirements, safety cases, risk assessments, FMEA, fault-tree and STPA analyses, ODD evaluation, verification and validation strategy, supplier coordination, launch readiness, incident analysis, and safety governance. The role partners across autonomy, hardware, software, vehicle integration, operations, fleet, and testing teams to ensure safety risks are identified, mitigated, traceable, and supported by evidence for deployment decisions.

Design, deploy, and operate large-scale workflow orchestration platforms (Argo/Airflow/hybrid) for simulation, ML training, data pipelines and CI/CD. Build SDKs, abstractions, and self-service tooling; ensure reliability, observability, cost-efficiency, GPU and cross-cluster scheduling on Kubernetes across cloud and on-prem; integrate with storage, streaming, registries, and CI/CD; document best practices and mentor engineers.

Perform state-of-the-art prototyping and benchmarking of multi-modal perception, mapping, and prediction models. Own a focused research project from data analysis through model verification. Train, tune, and optimize deep learning models on large-scale compute and truck datasets under senior mentorship.

Develop and research deep learning and vision algorithms for autonomous driving (detection, tracking, prediction, planning, SLAM). Lead end-to-end ML projects from data analysis through model evaluation, and collaborate across product, simulation, and algorithm teams to extend ML technologies into system components.

Develop, train, and optimize deep learning models for autonomous driving (perception, mapping, end-to-end planning). Execute full ML lifecycle from data curation to deployment, collaborate with simulation and infrastructure teams, and evaluate SOTA research to address real-world corner cases.

Build high-performance, scalable simulation infrastructure and tooling for autonomous vehicle development. Design systems for scenario generation, simulation execution, synthetic data, and reinforcement-learning workflows. Collaborate with ML, perception, and controls teams to improve realism, performance, and validation pipelines while writing production-quality C++ and Python code, contributing to architecture, testing, and documentation.

Develop and train conditioned policies and MARL systems to simulate realistic driving behaviors, implement safety-constrained RL algorithms, design rewards and evaluation metrics, optimize large-scale training pipelines, advance neural architectures for long-horizon planning and spatial reasoning, and integrate research models with production simulation and planning teams.

The Senior ML/RL Engineer will develop behavior models, implement RL algorithms focusing on safety, design reward functions and optimize training environments while collaborating across teams.

Optimize end-to-end GPU performance for real-time autonomous driving workloads: develop and optimize parallel GPU algorithms and inference pipelines, profile and eliminate bottlenecks across computation and memory, debug GPU software for latency/throughput improvements, and collaborate on onboard GPU software architectures for embedded platforms.

Manage full-cycle technical recruiting for a Bay Area startup: source, screen, coordinate interviews, maintain ATS, partner with hiring managers, build pipelines for software, ML, robotics and autonomous driving roles, support events and university outreach, and improve recruiting processes.
