Staff ML Validation Applied Scientist

As a Staff ML Validation Applied Scientist on the Software Validation team within the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) organization, you will lead applied machine learning research focused on improving verification and validation of ML components and autonomous driving behavior at scale. You will push the frontier of simulation-led ML validation, creating metrics, tools, and agentic workflows that make it dramatically faster, more automated, and more robust to evaluate autonomy systems across large fleets, diverse scenarios, and continuous release cycles. You will transform advanced ML research into working prototypes and production-grade validation services, including AI validation critics that automatically review model behavior, logs, and simulation traces to surface issues, regressions, and coverage gaps.
