Senior/Staff Software Engineer - Machine Learning & System Optimization
Zoox · Foster City, CA; Boston, MA; Seattle, WA
Extracted from the posting
Senior/Staff engineer on the Perception team, optimizing large multi-modal perception and foundation models for on-vehicle SoCs. Work includes allocating CPU/GPU/interconnect resources across on-robot models, quantization (PTQ, QAT), TensorRT pipelines, and custom CUDA kernels. Primary languages are production C++ and Python, with real-time, low-latency inference as the target.
The Perception team is pioneering the development of a multi-modality foundation model to drive the next generation of autonomous system intelligence.
As a Machine Learning and System Optimization Engineer, you will orchestrate and allocate overall system capacity to various core perception models running on-bot, as well as drive large initiatives that allow for more efficient inference by sharing various parts of the perception stack with one another.
You will focus on bringing highly efficient, production-ready large-scale models to our on-vehicle stack. We are looking for experts with hands-on experience compressing, accelerating, and deploying complex models, including LLMs, VLMs, or foundation models, for power- and thermal-constrained vehicle SoCs.
In addition, you will optimize ML models, write custom CUDA kernels, and build highly concurrent inference code to ensure real-time, deterministic execution on edge devices.
In this role, you will:
