Design and develop machine-learning approaches for vehicle control, including learned vehicle dynamics models, adaptive controllers, data pipelines, evaluation metrics, and simulation tooling. Integrate learned models into safety-critical closed-loop systems and validate algorithms through offline experimentation, simulation, and on-vehicle testing. Collaborate with engineers and research scientists to combine classical control with AI for scalable self-driving technologies.
The summary above was generated by AI
You Will…
  • Design and develop data-driven and machine-learned approaches to vehicle control problems, bringing modern ML to a domain traditionally solved with classical methods.

  • Develop learned models of vehicle behavior and dynamics, and integrate them into the closed-loop simulation.

  • Apply machine learning to improve how the controller adapts across vehicles and operating conditions.

  • Be part of a team of multidisciplinary Engineers and Research Scientists using an AI-first approach to enable safe self-driving at scale.

  • Own problems end to end, from conceptualization and offline experimentation through simulation and on-vehicle validation.

  • Build the data pipelines, evaluation metrics, and tooling needed to measure whether a learned approach outperforms the classical baseline.

  • Participate and share ideas in technical and architecture discussions, helping define how learning and classical control coexist in a safety-critical stack.

Qualifications:
  • MS/PhD or Bachelors degree with a minimum of 4 years of industry experience in Robotics, Controls, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and/or similar technical field(s) of study.

  • Demonstrated depth in control theory and dynamic systems (e.g., MPC, optimal control, state estimation, system identification, kinematic and dynamic vehicle modeling).

  • Hands-on experience applying machine learning to a physical system, with real hardware in the loop rather than simulation alone.

  • Production-quality coding skill in Python and C++, and experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.

  • Solid problem solving skills using linear algebra, optimization, statistics & probability.

  • Ability to rapidly prototype and test new algorithms, and to design the experiments that prove whether they work.

  • Open-minded and collaborative team player with the willingness to help others.

  • Passionate about self-driving technologies, solving hard problems, and creating innovative solutions.

The US yearly salary range for this role is: $241,000 - $320,000 USD in addition to competitive perks & benefits. Waabi US Inc.’s yearly salary ranges are determined based on several factors in accordance with the Company’s compensation practices.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene

Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
