Job Description Role: The Smart Agents group is responsible for building the ML models and system to simulate road users in a variety of situations and generate the scenarios used for testing and training AV driving policies. If you think of Simulation as a video game our autonomous vehicles train on to learn to drive, the Smart Agents team develops the ML/AI models that control the other characters in the video game to interact in realistic ways as the av drives-eg, the other vehicles, bikers, and pedestrians. Our technology stack includes Generative AI models (GPT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies. The Smart Agents group work closely with the rest of the Simulation, and our partners Behaviors, Perception, and Safety Engineers. The specific duties may include ML/RL model development as well as training loop development, streamlining optimization, integration, creating ML
