About the role

  • We won't give up until we've made a tangible and positive impact on the planet.
  • As a senior ML Engineer, you will help grow and shape our E2E stack.
  • You will also help with new models and features.

Responsibilities

  • We're Blue River, a team of innovators driven to create intelligent machinery that solves monumental problems for our customers.
  • We empower our customers - farmers, construction crews, and foresters - to implement safer and more sustainable solutions, driving increased profitability with less reliance on scarce labor.
  • We believe that focusing on the small stuff - pixel-by-pixel and task-by-task - leads to big gains.
  • This involves shaping the design of the E2E training and inference pipeline, both on- and off-vehicle and on- and off-prem.
  • Design and implement end-to-end policies for complex navigation and manipulation tasks with long horizons.
  • Drive the full data + modeling life cycle, from data collection requirements, experimental design, evaluation frameworks, model training, and deployment.
  • Iteratively drive performance improvements.
  • Develop pretraining strategies leveraging multimodal data at scale.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure engineers on scalable data pipelines, including ingest, curation, and processing training artifacts.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure engineers on scalable distributed training pipelines.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience delivering high-performance ML products in a professional setting, with a preference for end-to-end robotics or autonomy applications.

Compensation

  • The US annual base salary range for this position is $135,000 - $378,000, along with eligibility for Blue River's bonus and benefit programs.

Benefits

  • With our partners at John Deere, we have the ability to bring innovative computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and product management solutions to scale production, maximizing their potential impact.
  • Our mission is to bring the power of E2E machine learning and robotics to John Deere, revolutionizing how robotic systems are built.
  • You should be comfortable and excited about working with ambiguity, helping define what will move the program forward, working across traditional boundaries, and learning new things.
  • Explore approaches to leveraging John Deere's vast store of machine logs, and bring an E2E lens to inform future logging vision.
  • Design and implement systems for active learning on the edge.
  • Collaborate with reinforcement learning, robotics, and hardware engineers to integrate ML seamlessly into the full E2E autonomy stack.
  • Drive the E2E vision and act as an ambassador for an E2E-first organization.

Company info

  • Our people are at the heart of what we do.
  • We aim to open up previously inaccessible opportunities, delivering autonomy products that customers love.
  • Work with product management to learn from customers, including how they want to interface with the product.
  • We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field and on-site to figure it out.
