Full Job Description
Mission Summary: At Motional, we're transforming how autonomous vehicles discover critical intelligence hidden within petabytes of multimodal sensor data. Our next-generation autonomous driving stack depends on finding the rare edge cases, long-tail scenarios, and model errors that matter most. Omnitag, our ML-powered multimodal data mining framework, is the engine that powers this discovery. As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader defining the roadmap and architecture for the machine learning systems that power our data discovery and model improvement lifecycles. Rather than focusing on a single specialized domain, you will leverage your broad ML expertise to architect massive, scalable systems, from multimodal representation learning and active learning loops to hyper-efficient production inference. You will own system-level architecture, lead multi-quarter, multi-person initiatives, and partner across the engineering organization to unblock teams and influence our department-wide technical strategy. By establishing robust processes and mentoring those around you, you will ensure our ML platforms act as a reliable, mission-critical engine for the entire autonomy stack. What You'll Do: Define Technical Strategy we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move. Higher purpose, greater impact. We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only
