Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in NYC, NY

Design, build, and maintain scalable real-time and historical data pipelines and libraries; implement APIs, data quality checks, monitoring, and performance-optimized workflows; collaborate with autonomy, platform, and front-end teams to support fleet data analysis and visualization.

Design, operate, and scale ML data and training pipelines for autonomous driving. Build distributed training, orchestration, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code; maintain data/metadata stores and tooling to support large-scale model training and evaluation across cloud and cluster environments.

Design, train, and evaluate advanced machine learning models for autonomous driving, simulation, and ML platforms. Lead small cross-functional engineering teams, establish data and experiment practices for petabyte-scale training, address long-tail model failures, and work with multimodal datasets exceeding 100TB. The role requires commercial robotics experience, mentoring capability, expertise in VLA or generative world models, Python/PyTorch, sensor processing, and potentially edge deployment.

Lead a team of safety engineers to define and execute AV safety strategy across development, simulation, testing, and deployment. Apply UL4600/ISO standards, develop safety cases, set safety metrics (SPI), manage safety plans and artifacts, train engineers, and coordinate with partners and stakeholders to validate ML models and ADS integration for safe public-road operation.

Leads architecture and development of production-grade mapping and localization ML systems for autonomous vehicles. Designs neural models for detection, segmentation, tracking, depth estimation, 3D reconstruction, and semantic mapping; owns data strategy, evaluation, deployment, and fleet validation. Mentors engineers, drives technical roadmaps, collaborates cross-functionally, and advances vectorized HD mapping, foundation models, and real-time optimization.

Leads the technical direction of an autonomous vehicle perception stack. Responsibilities include architecting scalable perception systems, developing scene detection and runtime activation, improving robustness against sensor degradation and adverse weather, integrating multimodal models, managing ML and data pipelines, monitoring field performance, leading testing and feature delivery, and mentoring engineers. Requires strong robotics, computer vision, machine learning, real-time systems, software architecture, and team leadership experience.

The Director of System Safety oversees safety functions for autonomous vehicles, managing safety cases, deployment plans, and regulatory relationships while leading a multi-disciplinary safety team.

As the SMS Lead, you own and operate the Safety Management System, aligning safety objectives with regulations, monitoring safety performance, coordinating incident reporting and compliance, and fostering a safety culture across the organization.

Lead architecture and scaling of the AV simulation engine, develop high-fidelity vehicle dynamics and multi-body physics, integrate rendering and sensor-simulation, ensure determinism and performance, own unified evaluation metrics backend, collaborate with HiL partners, lead design/code reviews, and mentor engineers.

Lead and scale simulation operations team to create, tag, execute, and QA simulation scenarios and test suites. Build evaluation metrics, synthesize results into actionable reports, and integrate AI/LLM tools and automation to accelerate scenario generation, bug triage, and reporting for autonomy stakeholders.
