About the role

Engineering Manager responsible for the data and evaluation layer powering Applied Intuition’s end-to-end autonomy models, covering data enrichment, dataset curation, evaluation infrastructure, and closed-loop systems between on-road performance and training.

Responsibilities

  • Own data enrichment: ML pipelines that produce semantic labels, object annotations, behavior tags, and derived features at petabyte scale across cameras, lidar, and radar; ensure enrichment quality keeps pace with model requirements as they evolve.
  • Build the curation and corpus management systems: distribution analysis, targeted mining for long-tail scenarios, embedding-based data selection, scenario diversity and geographic balance enforcement.
  • Own evaluation from offboard metrics to on-road driving quality: define metrics, benchmarks, and regression tests that determine whether a model ships; close the sim-to-real gap; build eval tooling to measure and improve the evaluation system itself.
  • Recruit, develop, and technically lead the team; build a culture of rigor on a safety-critical system.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years building ML or data systems for robotics or production software systems.
  • 2+ years managing or technically leading engineering teams.
  • Experience with large-scale data pipelines: ingestion, curation, and processing of large-scale multi-modal sensor data.
  • Experience reasoning about dataset composition, distribution balance, and corpus-level quality – making data decisions that measurably improved model performance.
  • Strong software engineering in Python; comfort with C++ and distributed systems.
