• Create robust and resilient pipelines to process massive daily volumes of data created by vehicle fleets and simulation environments.
• Build and support scalable pipelines as part of Torc’s Data Factory to deliver data for ML training at scale.
• Scale Torc’s data lake through a distributed storage system, data crawling and discovery.
• Promote and protect the integrity of data through validation, versioning, data provenance, and governance.
• Support the expansion of Torc’s data lake through acquisition of additional data sets from internal and external sources.
• Assist in the development and delivery of cloud-based solutions.
• Collaborate with teams specializing in perception, planning, control, mapping, and vehicle testing to develop solutions that support product delivery.
• Support the implementation of emerging cloud-based capabilities that can extend our technology stack and improve our ability to build, deploy, and test safety-critical software for self-driving vehicles.
