Responsibilities::
• Evaluate existing tools for fidelity and efficiency to determine the best baseline.
• Ingest and process internal, real-world driving logs to fine-tune the model.
• Connect the prototype to the data pipeline, allowing it to seamlessly ingest map data and output structured scenarios.
• Translate the generated scenarios into the standardized formats required by the company's existing simulation engine.
• Develop metrics to validate the physical realism, diversity, and kinematic feasibility of the generated scenarios.
• Use generated scenarios to stress-test the vehicle's on-board modules against rare or safety-critical events.
• Collaborate closely with ML researchers, simulation engineers, and on-board teams to define what makes a scenario useful for their specific needs.
Required Skills::
• Solid Python programming skills
• Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch preferred)
• Basic understanding of generative models (e.g., VAEs, GANs, diffusion models)
• Experience working with datasets (loading, preprocessing)
Preferred Skills::
• Prior exposure to diffusion models
• Experience with autonomous driving datasets
• Familiarity with 2D/3D coordinate systems, trajectories, and map representations
• Experience with experiment tracking and ML tooling
• Basic understanding of scenario-based testing for autonomous driving systems
