Senior, ML Engineer - Auto Tagger
About the role
About the Company
At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business. A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. 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.
Meet The Team
The Auto Tagger team is the engine behind our data flywheel, responsible for translating petabytes of raw, multi-modal vehicle data into a highly curated library of critical driving scenarios. By mining driving logs for long-tail events, we provide the foundational data required for safe autonomous trucking. Leveraging Pegasus logical layers, this team structures and catalogs findings into an observations database that directly accelerates development across autonomous perception, sensor fusion, and generative simulation testing.
What You'll Do
- Scenario Mining at Scale: Architect and optimize distributed data pipelines to process massive multi-sensor logs (camera, LiDAR, radar, kinematics), automatically extracting and cataloging safety-critical and long-tail driving events.
- Advanced Event Tagging: Develop and tune both heuristic-based and ML-assisted algorithms (including exploring Vision-Language Models or semantic vector search) to automatically classify and describe complex environmental and behavioral scenarios.
