Ideal candidate

A collaborative data engineer passionate about autonomous driving who thrives in fast-moving, ownership-driven environments and enjoys turning messy real-world vehicle data into reliable foundations for ML.

Requirements

  • Proven experience building and operating scalable data pipelines or distributed data processing systems in production environments.
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python, with a solid foundation in maintainable, reliable, and well-tested software development practices.
  • Proficient in SQL and PySpark, with experience using warehouse/OLAP concepts, window functions, and Spark for distributed data processing.
  • Experience with modern data pipeline architectures, including workflow orchestration and DAG-based systems such as Airflow, Flyte, Ray, or similar.
  • Solid understanding of robotics and automated driving data concepts, including sensor characteristics, timestamping and clock synchronisation, coordinate transformations, calibration, and ego-motion signals such as GNSS/IMU and vehicle odometry.
  • Understanding of machine learning development workflows, including training data generation, evaluation datasets, scenario mining, and model iteration.
  • Excellent communication and collaborative skills, capable of working effectively with interdisciplinary teams.
  • Prior work in calibration, perception, imitation learning, or trajectory prediction.
  • Experience with third-party dataset ingestion and transformation.
  • Familiarity with automated driving data and scenario taxonomies, including ODD definitions, manoeuvre and behavior labels, scene classification, event tagging, semantic understanding.
