About the role

The Perception team at Zoox creates the "eyes and ears" of our self-driving robots. Navigating safely and efficiently in complex environments requires detecting, classifying, tracking, and understanding various attributes of surrounding objects—all in real-time and with exceptional accuracy. As an engineer in the Scene Understanding team, you will develop advancedVision-Language-Action (VLA) models that perceive our vehicle's surroundings to identify hazards and make driving suggestions. You will utilize VLA models for detecting rare events and ensuring safe driving in these situations. You'll work with state-of-the-art machine learning models that operate in real-time on our robotaxi platform with minimal latency. Collaborating with world-class engineers and researchers across sensors, planning, and other teams, you'll have access to premium sensor data and cutting-edge infrastructure to validate your algorithms in real-world conditions.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science or related field
  • Background in deep learning solutions for VLM and VLA models
  • Track record in post-training large-scale models, CPT, SFT, RL
  • Hands-on experience with production ML pipelines, including dataset creation, training frameworks, and metrics
  • Expertise in Python libraries (PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, VLLM)
  • Deep knowledge of cutting-edge computer vision techniques
  • Publications in top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA)
  • Experience with integrating large language models to various tasks.
