Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Simulation Scenario Generation
Zoox Inc.
Job Description
Job Description
Do you enjoy applying machine learning to complex, real-world problems in autonomous vehicle testing? The Simulation Scenario Generation team is looking for a ML Engineer to enable next-generation scalable AV scenario creation workflows. This ranges from generating large-scale traffic simulations to extending our agentic AI system to assist in synthetic scenario creation from a natural language test specification. This role offers a unique chance to deliver immediate user impact while contributing to long-term AI-driven safety validation.
In this role, you will:- Contribute to tooling for AI-based scenario understanding and validation.
- Synthesize realistic AV simulation scenarios with dynamic (e.g., traffic) and static features.
- Integrate and validate LLMs/VLMs and implement other models for complex scenario generation workflows, leveraging techniques like agentic tool use.
- Collaborate directly with internal customers and partner teams to provide generative AI solutions for their test creation workflows.
- Directly contribute to the safety and reliability of Zoox's autonomous software.
- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field
- 5+ years of industry experience in Machine Learning
- Proficiency in Python and ML libraries (PyTorch, JAX, NumPy, etc.) demonstrated through professional or research projects
- Demonstrated experience in transformer and diffusion architectures
- Practical experience in dataset creation for fine-tuning, system integration of ML models into production, or optimization techniques for low-latency inference systems
- Familiarity with autonomous vehicles, robotics, and/or complex simulation environments
- Hands-on experience in areas like program synthesis and/or formal methods/V&V
- Relevant publications in conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, RSS, and/or ICRA)
