ML Engineer, II - Simulation Enablement

Summary

Torc Robotics develops software for automated trucks and autonomous driving systems. The Machine Learning Engineer will drive adoption of the Torc Sim simulation platform across Autonomy teams by integrating models, scaling replay and recompute workflows, evaluating metrics, enabling visualization, and resolving full-stack data and simulation issues.

Responsibilities

• Act as the embedded point of contact between Dataloop + Simulation and one to two Autonomy teams, driving hands-on adoption of Torc Sim
• Implement the end-to-end data flow: data ops platform → simulation environment → persistent storage running at scale
• Onboard Autonomy models to execute replay/recompute workflows at scale, as well as the subsequent metric evaluation
• Ensure adoption of the visualization tooling and bring back UI/UX improvements for our development backlog
• Become 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
• Debug issues that span the full stack, from data ingestion, through simulation execution, to storage and metrics — and drive them to resolution
• Translate on-the-ground feedback from Autonomy engineers into concrete requirements for the Dataloop + Simulation product roadmap
• Document workflows and onboard new users so adoption scales beyond your own hands-on support

Skills

• * Bachelor'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
• * Strong Python skills and experience building or operating data pipelines at scale
• * Experience working with simulation, replay, or model validation
• * Familiarity with autonomy or robotics ML models (perception, tracking, prediction, or planning) and the data they consume
• * Comfort working across cloud storage and compute
• * Strong cross-team communication skills — you'll be translating between a platform team and one or two embedded Autonomy teams on a daily basis
• * A 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
• * Prior experience in a forward-deployed engineer, solutions engineer, or embedded platform role
• * Hands-on experience with Camera, Lidar, Vehicle Intent, or Object Tracking models specifically
• * Experience with simulation or replay frameworks for autonomous vehicles or robotics
• * Familiarity with visualization tooling such as Foxglove, OpenGL, or Three.js
• * Experience with large sensor data formats (MCAP, Parquet) and associated processing tools (PyArrow, Daft, Pandas)
• * Experience with distributed compute/orchestration frameworks (Ray, Anyscale, AWS HyperPods)
• * Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform) and CI systems (GitHub Actions)
• **Work Location:** For this position, we are hiring Remote in the United States and Canada
