Machine Learning Engineer, Synthetic Data

You will advance GAIA-class world models and synthetic-data pipelines to accelerate autonomous driving development. You’ll bridge research and engineering to scale generation, post-train models, and integrate synthetic data into the training stack. The role sits at the intersection of ML research and platform engineering, shaping capabilities that directly impact real-world driving models. You’ll work with cross-functional teams to improve training speed, evaluation, and deployment of driving policies. This is a unique opportunity to influence end-to-end autonomy through scalable, data-centric AI.
