Machine Learning Research Scientist, Behavior Planning and Prediction Join to apply for the Machine Learning Research Scientist, Behavior Planning and Prediction role at Nuro Machine Learning Research Scientist, Behavior Planning and Prediction Join to apply for the Machine Learning Research Scientist, Behavior Planning and Prediction role at Nuro Who We Are Nuro exists to better everyday life through robotics. Founded in 2016, Nuro has spent eight years developing autonomous driving (AD) technology and commercializing AD applications. The Nuro Driver is our world-class autonomous driving system that combines AD hardware with our generalized AI-first self-driving software. Built to learn and improve through data, the Nuro Driver is one of the few driverless autonomous technologies on public roads today. Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Fidelity, Bailie Gifford, T. Rowe Price, Google, and other leading investors. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s most respected brands including Uber, FedEx, Domino’s, Walmart, Kroger, and 7-Eleven. About The Role The mandate of the learned behavior team is to use advanced machine learning techniques to accelerate software progress. In this role, you will work closely with the software vertical teams to understand their pain points and explore novel and advanced machine learning methods to solve practical real-world challenging problems. To name a few, using self-supervised learning to learn robust representations, exploring techniques for out-of-distribution detection to solve long tail problems, adjusting reinforcement learning techniques for motion planning, working on trajectory prediction and motion planning, investigating the robustness of models to mitigate uncertainties, or trying to build an end-to-end driving system. If you love solving challenging new problems with a mindset of deriving practical solutions to eventually be used on the vehicle, come join us! About The Work Work on scalable machine learning based planning and prediction systems to generate safe and feasible trajectories for autonomous driving. Research generative sequence modeling and sequential decision making. Research backgrounds we are looking for but not limited to are: Nice to have: Embodied AI for robotics, Causal reasoning, Model interpretability and explainability, Joint prediction and planning. Mitigate uncertainties accumulated through interconnected autonomy components. Collaborate across autonomy teams while developing holistic solutions to top autonomy challenges. Understand issues, propose ideas, prioritize work and develop solutions to solve them. Derive practical solutions and deploy them on real-world vehicles. About You You have deep expertise and prior experience in some or many of the following areas: You have an M.Sc. or Ph.D. (preferable) focusing on one or more of the following areas: Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, or a closely related field You have subject matter expertise and research in one or more of the following areas: sequential decision making, Imitation Learning, Deep Reinforcement Learning, generative modeling, large models (pretraining/finetuning), machine learning for robotics. You have strong problem solving and programming skills in Python (required) and C++ (beneficial) Strong culture fit and good team player Demonstrated research publications in top conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR, RSS, CoRL, ICRA) At Nuro, we celebrate differences and are committed to a diverse workplace that fosters inclusion and psychological safety for all employees.
