Description
The Active Prediction Integration team is responsible for the development of a unified prediction and planning architecture, by integrating ML-based and first-principles-based models. It is a highly cross-functional team that collaborates with planning, prediction and behavior ML, and perception engineers to critically influence robot behaviors. You’ll be part of a passionate team dedicated to enabling Zoox’s rider-first experience by making the autonomous robot safer, smarter and more comfortable.

Together with the team, you will advance the state of the art in prediction and decision-making. We are looking for engineers with experience in developing and integrating advanced ML models in safety-critical production environments. If you enjoy learning new AI technologies and embrace the challenges of evolving prediction and planner architectures, we would like to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • You will work closely with Prediction and Planner to integrate advanced ML models and develop first-principles based safeguards, to ensure trustworthy prediction and decision making.
  • You will inform and guide the development of new ML models and should be willing to dive deep and address issues in the model and data pipelines.
  • You will design interfaces between prediction and planning, creating abstraction layers  that facilitate modular integration of various machine learned components within the planning architecture.
  • You will create principled algorithmic improvements to specific areas of driving behavior and implement those changes in our code base.
  • You will facilitate the collaborations between the prediction data/modeling teams and the planning and control teams in order to deliver architectural changes to the system.

Qualifications

  • Master's or PhD degree in computer science or related field and 5+ years of relevant experience
  • Fluency in modern C++ standards, programming and software design principles
  • Strong knowledge of algorithmic design, implementation and optimization
  • Prior experience or expertise in machine learning, either in model architecture or production data pipelines
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate and collaborate cross-functionally

Bonus Qualifications

  • Demonstrated ability to create real-time motion planning algorithms
  • Experience with sequential decision making, including, but not limited to, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, joint trajectory prediction and planning, etc.
  • Experience with machine learning and deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, TensorRT) and basic knowledge of CUDA programming or willingness to learn
Compensation
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary will range from $221,000 to $319,000. A sign-on bonus may be part of a compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
