Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Behaviors
MotionalFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should have an undergraduate degree, with a Master's or PhD in an engineering discipline preferred, and at least 3 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 familiarity with methods like STPA, SOTIF (ISO 21448), and/or UL 4600 are necessary. Strong fundamentals in mathematics, engineering, and physics, excellent data analysis skills using tools like Python or Matlab, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly are also required. Experience in launching a driverless product, the automotive self-driving industry, building software systems from scratch, or in robotics or machine learning are considered bonuses.
The Systems Engineer will own the creation, documentation, alignment, and verification of all behavioral system requirements, ensuring a strong understanding of vehicle behaviors and interactions. They will act as a central point of contact for behavioral requirements and scenario sets, communicating progress and potential roadblocks to stakeholders. This role involves driving Waabi's safety culture by applying safety standards and methodologies across teams, defining improvements for the simulator to verify driving behaviors, and continuously evaluating and enhancing behavioral evaluation capabilities. The engineer will also implement tools and methodologies to streamline behavioral requirement processes and work with external partners on gathering data related to truck driving behaviors 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.
