About the role
- Meet The Team: The Auto Tagger team is the engine behind our data flywheel, responsible for translating petabytes of raw, multi-modal vehicle data into a highly curated library of critical driving scenarios.
- Leveraging Pegasus logical layers, this team structures and catalogs findings into an observations database that directly accelerates development across autonomous perception, sensor fusion, and generative simulation testing.
Responsibilities
- Scenario Mining at Scale: Architect and optimize distributed data pipelines to process massive multi-sensor logs (camera, LiDAR, radar, kinematics), automatically extracting and cataloging safety-critical and long-tail driving events.
- Data Flywheel Integration: Manage the ingestion of tagged events into the observations database, enabling high-speed querying and retrieval for ML training, regression testing, and system validation.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Operate with broad autonomy to drive consensus across organizational boundaries.
- Collaborate closely with downstream consumers in perception, simulation, and systems engineering to define what constitutes an "interesting scenario" and operationalize a continuous data loop.
- Mentorship & Team Growth: Guide, mentor, and elevate less-experienced engineers. Lead design reviews, establish coding standards, and foster a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving.
- Operate with broad autonomy to drive consensus across organizational boundaries.
- Lead design reviews, establish coding standards, and foster a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving.
- A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners.
- Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a STEM field, with 6+ years in data engineering, ML systems, or autonomous data curation.
- Exceptional ability to translate complex data engineering challenges into clear strategies for cross-functional stakeholders.
- Familiarity with foundational models, auto-labeling pipelines, or zero-shot classification for scenario extraction.
- Experience with vLLM, SGLang, or similar frameworks for highly optimized, high-throughput model serving and inference
- Model Serving: Experience with vLLM, SGLang, or similar frameworks for highly optimized, high-throughput model serving and inference
Skills
- Strong Python and SQL skills, with heavy experience processing massive time-series or unstructured datasets.
- Expertise in distributed compute frameworks (Ray, Spark, Beam) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for executing heavy data workloads.
Compensation
- $177k-$213k
Benefits
- J oin us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.
- ML & Dataset Curation: Hands-on machine learning and dataset curation experience, with a demonstrated history of implementing targeted datasets that measurably improve downstream model performance.
