- Own robustness, performance, and safety across the decision pipeline
- Define clean interfaces between perception, prediction, world model, and actuation modules
- Drive hands-on development, architecture, and code reviews
- Work with system engineering, product, fleet, and OEM/Tier-1 integration teams
- Establish validation methodologies, scenario-based testing, and fleet-feedback loops
Requirements
