Job summary

Serve Robotics seeks a senior ML engineer to design and scale large-scale machine learning training systems for multimodal robotics data, enabling high-performance autonomy models and efficient GPU utilization. You will optimize distributed pipelines, develop neural architectures for autonomous tasks, and collaborate with ML researchers and infrastructure teams to productionize models and data pipelines.

Requirements include multi-GPU training experience, strong Python skills, and knowledge of

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or Machine Learning.
• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience developing, training, and deploying machine learning models in production environments.
• Hands-on experience training machine learning models across multiple GPUs or compute nodes, including familiarity with distributed training frameworks and large dataset handling.
• Strong programming skills in Python for implementing machine learning models, data pipelines, and training workflows.
• Solid knowledge of core concepts such as neural networks, optimization algorithms, loss functions, model evaluation, and training methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain training systems that can process and learn from petabyte-scale multimodal datasets (e.g., video and point cloud data). This includes ensuring data is efficiently loaded, distributed, and processed across large GPU clusters.
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the training pipeline, including data loading, preprocessing, model computation, and inter-node communication, to maximize GPU utilization and reduce training time.
• Work with the ML team to develop and refine neural network architectures suitable for autonomy tasks, particularly those handling high-dimensional and sequential sensor data.
• Create and adjust loss functions and training strategies that help the model learn effectively from complex multimodal inputs and improve autonomy performance.
• Configure, monitor, and maintain large-scale distributed training jobs across multiple machines and GPUs, ensuring stability, fault tolerance, and efficient resource usage.
• Implement scalable systems to preprocess, transform, and augment large robotics datasets so that they are suitable for model training.
• Work closely with ML scientists and other engineers to integrate new models, experiments, and training approaches into the production training pipeline.
• Analyze training metrics, model outputs, and experiment logs to assess model performance and guide improvements in architecture, data usage, or training strategies.
• Develop tools and workflows that allow teams to run experiments, track results, and iterate quickly on new model ideas or training approaches.
