Senior Engineering Manager, ML Platform

About the role

We are working on many interesting challenges to enable rapid experimentation and scale our multi-modal Foundation models and RL infrastructure, and ensure these models run efficiently on our vehicles, meeting our latency targets. You will get to work across all ML teams within Zoox - Perception, Prediction, Planner, Simulation, Collision Avoidance, and our Advanced Hardware Engineering group, and have the opportunity to significantly push the boundaries of how ML is practiced within Zoox. We build and operate the base layer of ML tools, deep learning frameworks, and inference libraries used by our applied research teams for in- and off-vehicle ML use cases. You will lead a team of strong software engineers and managers and act as a force multiplier for our internal customers. This team has many growth opportunities as we expand our robotaxi deployments and venture into new ML domains. If you want to learn more about our ML Infrastructure, here is one of our past talks at re:Invent. About Zoox Zoox is developing the first ground-up, fully autonomous vehicle fleet and the supporting ecosystem required to bring this technology to market. Sitting at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and design, Zoox aims to provide the next generation of mobility-as-a-service in urban environments. We're looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.

Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant experience, including 4+ years of management experience managing other managers and engineers.
• Experience building user-friendly ML Infrastructure that enabled large-scale model training and high-throughput, low-latency serving use cases.
• Experience with training frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, etc., leveraging GPUs for distributed model training.
• Experience with GPU-accelerated inference using TensorRT, Ray Serve, or similar frameworks.

Additional Information

Zoox is on a mission to reimagine transportation and build autonomous robotaxis from the ground up that are safe, reliable, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. With bidirectional driving capabilities and four-wheel steering, our vehicle allows us to maneuver through compact spaces and change directions without needing to reverse. We are still in the early stages of deploying our robotaxis, and it is a great time to join Zoox and have a significant impact on executing this mission. Our growing Software Infrastructure engineering leadership team is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager, ML Platform. The centralized ML Platform team at Zoox plays a crucial role in enabling innovations across all our Autonomy and Data Science teams to develop and deploy models across our robotaxi and cloud infrastructure, and to work on cutting-edge training and inference optimization techniques.
