Machine Learning Engineer - 3D Sensor Simulation

Design, train, and validate ML models that improve the realism of simulated lidar, radar, and camera data in autonomous vehicle (AV) simulation pipelines.

Collaborate with Synthetic Data and HIL Sim teams to integrate 3DGS and NeRF-based 3D reconstruction with simulation of all sensor modalities.

Build and curate training datasets from real and simulated sensor data, including GenAI-based data augmentation.

Partner with Sim V&V and Perception engineers to define sensor realism metrics and close the sim-to-real gaps with the greatest impact on autonomy.

Mentor engineers and interns, and establish best practices for training and deploying ML on Zoox sensor data.

Experience with generative techniques such as diffusion, flow matching, or VAEs

Experience with 3D reconstruction (3DGS, NeRFs) or differentiable rendering

Prior experience developing autonomy in AVs or other robotics and computer vision
