• You will have opportunities to develop new skills, especially in model optimisation.

Examples Projects:

• Working with machine learning researchers to optimise ML models, using the latest tooling like NVIDIA NSight.
• Training job scheduling and orchestration e.g. tooling to schedule long running jobs at off-peak times.
• Tooling which provides thousands of GPUs simultaneously to our driving simulator, which we use to test the driving performance of our models off road.
