About The Role

Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We're building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team is focused on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race-and Uber has an edge: We collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match.

As a Senior ML Engineer, you will be at the forefront of Physical AI , developing core components of our Autonomous Driving stack. You will be responsible for the development and implementation of the latest machine learning techniques across the autonomy systems. The ideal candidate will be able to identify complex edge cases, provide robust algorithmic solutions, and set a high technical excellence bar. You will collaborate with engineers across big data, compute, and cloud engineering to build platforms that harness scale and real-world complexity to reimagine how the world moves.

What The Candidate Will Do

  • Autonomous Driving Algorithm Development: Lead the development of algorithms to tackle complex urban environments, focusing on robustness and safety.
  • End-to-End AI Implementation: Implement end-to-end AI-driven state-of-the-art methods for autonomy pipelines, leveraging massive-scale real-world data.
  • Systems Architecture Design: Architect scalable ML systems, including management of upstream sensor dependencies.
  • Technical Leadership: Partner with fellow engineers to architect, design, and build scalable solutions for ML technology that can stand the test of scale and availability.
  • Dataset Optimization: Deliver high-quality datasets to accelerate ML technologies through advanced sensor data collection, processing, and auto-labeling.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with platform, product, and security engineering teams to enable the successful deployment of the latest machine learning techniques into production.

Basic Qualifications

  • 4 years of working experience in the ML/Robotics industry.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
  • Proficient in Python and Linux environments.
  • Familiar with modern AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in the Autonomous Driving domain.
  • Proven track record of deploying ML models in safety-critical physical systems.
  • Master's or PhD degree in Computer Vision, Robotics, or Machine Learning.
  • Familiarity with C and high-performance computing.
