• Design, develop, and deploy custom and off-the-shelf ML libraries and toolings to improve ML development, training, deployment, and on-vehicle model inference latency
• Build tooling and establish development best practices to manage and upgrade foundational libraries, i.e., Nvidia driver, PyTorch, TensorRT, etc., improve ML developer experience, and expedite debugging efforts
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including applied ML research, high-performance compute, advanced hardware engineering, and data science, to define requirements and align on architectural decisions

• Paid parental leave
• Affinity groups and sports clubs
• Work from home opportunities
