Staff Machine Learning Engineer

Meet the team:  

The Vehicle Intent (VI) Department develops software that reads the road scene signals, fast forwards the future scene and plans the trajectory the Truck should take. We accomplish this by applying large-scale machine learning models and analytical motion control techniques to predict and plan safe driving trajectories. To be able to do this, we develop a highly automated, continuous data loop from data selection, to training, to system release in close collaboration with data strategy, infrastructure, simulation, software integration, and motion controls.  

What you’ll do:  

• Translate ambiguous and complex business problems into machine learning workflow including exploratory data analysis, deep learning model development, and embedded deployment 
• Experience developing and testing machine learning or statistical projects, with strong background in supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised and reinforcement learning algorithms and modelling 
• Lead highly complex data science and analytics projects in support of process improvement, defect reduction, and predictive analytics for manufacturing and business applications 
• Demonstrated project management skills, serving as project lead guiding less experienced team members in multiple facets of project execution 
  Independently develop data science models or algorithms using disciplined software development processes, making recommendations for developing new code or re-using existing code, implementing version control, and maintaining documentation of created applications 
• Define and implement ingestion, data preparation, curation, and governance of large, multi-faceted data sets supporting analytics models and workflows 
• Proactively assess current capabilities to identify areas for improvement proposing solutions that align with core strategy and operation 
• Guide and produce information products, supporting visualization and data accessibility in a customer centric manner 
• Evaluate and make recommendations regarding technical advances that improve productivity and quality, reduce flow times, and enhance operational surety 
• Develop guidelines and standards for analytics and machine learning models, their deployment, and associated processes 
• Provides technical guidance or business process expertise, technical leadership, coaching and mentoring to team members 

What you’ll need to succeed:  

• MSc in computer science, Computer Engineering, or engineering equivalent and 7+ years of relevant experience 
• Subject matter expert and advanced individual contributor professional 
• Requires specialized skill set; conducts highly complex work, unsupervised and with extensive latitude for independent judgment 
• 3+ years of managerial experience of a team developing and deploying data driven Autonomy solutions 
• Workplace experience in challenging existing paradigms and driving technological changes 
• Vast experience in handling complex real-life data, cleaning and improving it; creative data strategist who can deal with the pains of scarce and / or noisy data 

Bonus Points!  

• PHD in a relevant field and 5+ years of relevant experience
