Job description
The Zoox 3D Sensor Simulation team’s work is at the core of creating in-the-loop simulation and high fidelity synthetic data for training and testing autonomous vehicle AI. We are looking for a machine learning professional with experience applying ML to sensor data, such as LiDAR, radar, and cameras.
This role lies at the intersection of machine learning and 3D simulation at Zoox, ranging from learned sensor models to neural 3D reconstruction. By improving the realism of simulated sensors (lidar, radar, and cameras), you’ll enable the Zoox robotics autonomy stack to learn, improve, and enhance the mobility of humans.
In this role, you will:
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of prior experience as a Technical Lead
-
5+ years of experience developing ML models in Python with PyTorch or TensorFlow
-
Industry experience applying ML to sensor data (lidar, radar, and/or cameras)
-
Solid understanding of customizing, tuning, and validating ML training pipelines
Bonus Qualifications:
Experience with generative techniques such as diffusion, flow matching, or VAEs
Experience with 3D reconstruction (3DGS, NeRFs) or differentiable rendering
Prior experience developing autonomy in AVs or other robotics and computer vision
