Applied Intuition is hiring a Behavior - Technical Lead to advance our autonomous vehicle stack. You will be the lead software engineer guiding the team to prototype, evaluate, refine, and deploy ML-first capabilities for prediction and planning.
What You'll Do
- Lead the development of machine learning models for joint behavior prediction and planning.
- Architect integrated ML systems that reason over latent scene representations to directly inform trajectory decisions.
- Implement data-driven approaches that optimize the full autonomy stack jointly.
- Collaborate tightly with Perception, Mapping, and Simulation teams to design shared representations and scalable training loops.
- Mentor a team of ML engineers focused on reasoning, joint prediction and planning, and generalization.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of industry experience developing and deploying machine learning models for prediction and planning in autonomous vehicle systems.
- Background architecting integrated ML systems that connect perception, prediction, and planning modules.
- Proficiency in C++ and Python for large-scale ML system development.
- Experience mentoring and leading teams of ML engineers in large-scale, cross-functional projects.
Nice to Have
- MS or PhD in computer science, robotics, or a related technical field.
- Experience with imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and scalable training pipelines for autonomous driving.
- Familiarity with generative AI, deep neural networks, and state-of-the-art ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Prior work on joint prediction and planning models for Level 4 or higher autonomous vehicles.
Technical Stack
- C++
- Python
- TensorFlow
- PyTorch
Benefits & Compensation
