Evaluate deep learning modules across perception, prediction, and planning in realistic sensor and traffic simulation.
Improve behavioral coverage and hazard-aligned metrics used in release readiness decision making.
Collaborate with Simulation, Safety, Systems Engineering, and cross-functional partners.
Author technical documentation, white papers, and contribute to validation methodology standards.
Research Focus Areas
Scenario synthesis (diffusion models, generative models, counterfactuals)
Coverage-based and fuzzing-based evaluation for autonomy behavior
Uncertainty estimation, calibration, conformal prediction, OOD detection
Robustness testing and perturbation frameworks
Test suite prioritization, failure mining, and regression analysis
Required Qualifications
B.Sc or MS in ML, Robotics, Computer Science, or work related experience
Strong proficiency in Python, PyTorch/JAX/TensorFlow
Demonstrated ability to translate complex ML research ideas into functional prototypes
Experience integrating ML evaluation into CI/CD pipelines
Proven research impact through published work, internal tools, or patents
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally
