Full description

Zoox is on a mission to reimagine transportation and ground-up build autonomous robotaxis that are safe, reliable, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. We are still in the early stages of deploying our robotaxis on public roads, and it is a great time to join Zoox and have a significant impact in executing this mission. The ML Platform team at Zoox plays a crucial role in enabling innovations in large-scale Foundation models, VLMs, and VLAs to make autonomous driving as seamless as possible.
 
The Opportunity
Are you excited to drive our ML Training Performance initiatives and make the models that power autonomous driving trains faster, cheaper, and at greater scale? You will work with SOTA accelerators and cutting-edge techniques in distributed training, parallelism strategies, mixed-precision training and RL, especially for VLA and VLM models that are multi-modal — partnering closely with all the Autonomy teams within Zoox (Perception, Prediction, Planner, Simulation, Collision Avoidance) and pushing the boundaries of how ML training is practiced at Zoox.
 
We build and operate the base layer of ML tools, model development, and training systems that our applied research teams use for in- and off-vehicle ML use cases. You will work alongside a team of strong software engineers and act as a force multiplier for our internal customers. This team has many growth opportunities as we expand our robotaxi deployments and venture into new ML domains. If you want to learn more about our stack behind autonomous driving, please look here. If you want to learn more about our ML Infrastructure, here is one of our past talks at re:Invent.
