About the role

Kodiak Robotics, Inc. was founded in 2018 and is a leading provider of AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology committed to a safer and more efficient future for all. The company is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) powered technology stack for driverless commercial trucking applications. Kodiak's unique modular hardware approach integrates sensors into a streamlined sensor-pod structurethat is purpose-built for perception, scalability, and maintainability. The company autonomously delivers freight daily for its commercial customers across the Sun Belt states and for Atlas Energy in the Permian Basin. Kodiak also leverages its commercial self-driving software to develop, test and deploy autonomous capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense. Kodiak is redefining what AI can do in autonomy, and generative models play a critical role in making AI more adaptive, predictive, and resilient. We are looking for engineers to develop AI that anticipates uncertainty, enhances decision-making, and refines its own understanding of the world. This role is open to all levels—from those eager to contribute to cutting-edge research to experts driving innovation at scale. In this role, you will: • Develop generative models that enhance adaptability and improve AI robustness • Research and implement diffusion-based, autoregressive, and variational techniques for real-world AI applications • Apply generative methods to anticipate challenges and reinforce decision-making • Build self-improving AI pipelines that continuously refine model understanding • Optimize models for efficient, scalable, and interpretable AI decision-making Qualifications: • BS, MS, or PhD in AI, Computer Science, or a related field, or at least 2-3 years of industry experience • Experience with diffusion models, autoregressive learning, or generative AI methods • Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow • Strong understanding of uncertainty modeling and self-supervised learning • Passion for building AI that continuously adapts and learns.
