Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.Join 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. \nMeet the Team \nTorc Sim is the simulation platform built by our Dataloop + Simulation division to help Autonomy teams replay, recompute, evaluate, and visualize their models against real and synthetic driving data at scale. It is the backbone that turns a logged drive into a repeatable, measurable experiment, and we are working to scale our impact across all our Autonomy users. \nWe are hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to sit at the center of that growth: reporting to Dataloop + Simulation but living day-to-day with one or two Autonomy teams to drive Torc Sim adoption from the inside. You will be the person who makes sure a model team's replay/recompute jobs run at scale, that the metrics coming out are interpretable and auditable, and that engineers can visualize what their model is doing. Along the way, you will become the resident expert on whichever model you are partnered with, whether Perception or Behavior models, so you fluently translate between \"simulation platform\" and \"autonomy model.” \nWhat You'll Do \nAct as the embedded point of contact between Dataloop + Simulation and one to two Autonomy teams, driving hands-on adoption of Torc Sim\nImplement the end-to-end data flow: data ops platform → simulation environment → persistent storage running at scale\nOnboard Autonomy models to execute replay/recompute workflows at scale, as well as the subsequent metric evaluation\nEnsure adoption of the visualization tooling and bring back UI/UX improvements for our development backlog\nBecome a domain expert on the model(s) your partner team owns (e.g., Camera, Lidar, Vehicle Intent, Object Tracking) so you can implement and own integrations\nDebug issues that span the full stack, from data ingestion, through simulation execution, to storage and metrics - and drive them to resolution\nTranslate on-the-ground feedback from Autonomy engineers into concrete requirements for the Dataloop + Simulation product roadmap\nDocument workflows and onboard new users so adoption scales beyond your own hands-on support \nWhat You'll Need to Succeed \nBachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related technical field plus demonstrated competencies typically acquired through 4+ years of experience, OR Master's Degree plus 2+ years of experience\nStrong Python skills and experience building or operating data pipelines at scale\nExperience working with simulation, replay, or model validation\nFamiliarity with autonomy or robotics ML models (perception, tracking, prediction, or planning) and the data they consume\nComfort working across cloud storage and compute\nStrong cross-team communication skills - you'll be translating between a platform team and one or two embedded Autonomy teams on a daily basis\nA bias toward hands-on problem solving: you're as comfortable debugging a broken data pipeline as you are explaining a metric discrepancy to a model owner \nBonus Points! \nPrior experience in a forward-deployed engineer, solutions engineer, or embedded platform role\nHands-on experience with Camera, Lidar, Vehicle Intent, or Object Tracking models specifically\nExperience with simulation or replay frameworks for autonomous vehicles or robotics\nFamiliarity with visualization tooling such as Foxglove, OpenGL, or Three.js\nExperience with large sensor data formats (MCAP, Parquet) and associated processing tools (PyArrow, Daft, Pandas)\nExperience with distributed compute/orchestration frameworks (Ray, Anyscale, AWS HyperPods)\nInfrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform) and CI systems (GitHub Actions) \nWork Location: For this position, we are hiring Remote in the United States and Canada. \nPerks of Being a Full-time Torc'r \nTorc cares about our team members and we strive to provide benefits and resources to support their health, work/life balance, and future. Our culture is collaborative, energetic, and team focused. Torc offers:\nA competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options\n100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees\n401K plan with a 6% employer match\nFlexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date)\nCompany-wide holiday office closures\nAD+D and Life Insurance \nAt Torc, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
