Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Behaviors
MotionalFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates must have an undergraduate degree, with a Masters or PhD in an engineering discipline preferred, and at least 5 years of experience in automotive, robotics, aerospace, or a related industry. Experience with requirements and metrics for driving behavior evaluations, building complex driving behavior scenarios, and methods like STPA, SOTIF (ISO 21448), or UL 4600 is required. Strong fundamentals in mathematics, engineering, and physics, excellent data analysis skills with tools like Python or Matlab, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly are essential. Experience in launching a driverless product, leading small teams, building software systems from scratch, robotics, machine learning, data mining, mathematics, and statistical analysis are considered bonuses.
The Staff Systems Engineer will lead and own the creation, documentation, alignment, and verification of all behavioral system requirements, with a strong understanding of vehicle behaviors and interactions. They will act as a central point of contact for behavioral requirements and scenario sets, communicating updates to stakeholders. The role involves driving safety culture through the application of safety standards and methodologies, defining improvements for the simulator to verify driving behaviors, and owning the concept for documenting and linking product requirements, system requirements, tests, and test executions. Responsibilities also include continuously evaluating and enhancing behavioral evaluation capabilities, implementing tools to streamline processes, and working with external partners on gathering data and supporting the safety case for the self-driving system.
Develops self-driving technology for trucking
Waabi focuses on developing self-driving technology specifically for the trucking industry. Their main product, the Waabi Driver, is designed to learn from experiences, adapt to new situations, and work with various hardware setups. This technology aims for large-scale use and is intended for integration into vehicles by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). A key feature that sets Waabi apart from competitors is its use of Waabi World, an advanced simulation environment that allows for efficient development of their self-driving systems. This reduces the need for extensive real-world testing, which can be costly and time-consuming, while also improving safety and adaptability. Waabi's goal is to transform the trucking industry by providing technology that lowers operational costs and enhances safety for commercial vehicles. They aim to license their technology to trucking companies and OEMs, making it easier for these businesses to adopt self-driving solutions.
