What is a Machine Learning Engineer at Motional?
At Motional, a Machine Learning Engineer sits at the absolute frontier of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. Motional is a joint venture between Hyundai and Aptiv, dedicated to making driverless vehicles a safe, reliable, and accessible reality. In this role, you will build the intelligent systems that enable robotaxis to perceive their surroundings, predict the behavior of other road users, and safely plan paths through complex urban environments.
The work you do directly impacts the safety and efficiency of real-world autonomous passenger fleets. Whether you are working on Prediction, ML Planning, Data Mining, or Autonomy ML Systems, your models will process massive streams of sensor data in real-time. This is not just about training models in a sandbox; it is about deploying safety-critical systems where latency, reliability, and edge-case handling are matters of paramount importance.
This position is highly collaborative and technically demanding. You will work alongside systems engineers, infrastructure specialists, and safety experts to integrate machine learning models directly onto the vehicle platform. The scale of data, combined with the zero-tolerance threshold for safety failures, makes this one of the most intellectually stimulating and impactful roles in the technology sector today.
