Phoenix Tech News (Author/Zou Jin) On October 28, a search of recruitment platforms found that ByteDance is hiring for multiple embodied intelligence-related positions, covering core areas such as end-to-end algorithm development and road testing. According to the job postings, the relevant positions all belong to Volcano Engine, ByteDance's cloud and AI service platform.
Specifically, ByteDance is recruiting an "End-to-End Embodied Intelligence Planning and Control Expert," with work locations in Beijing and Shanghai. The position requires more than 3 years of experience in autonomous driving planning and control algorithm development, as well as experience in the mass-production deployment of one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving systems. Core responsibilities include: leading the implementation of the planning and control pipeline for embodied agents based on end-to-end VLA (Vision-Language-Action) models, connecting device-side deployment with real-machine debugging; leading the real-machine integration and performance optimization of planning and control algorithms; advancing device-side adaptation after model distillation and quantization; and building evaluation and regression systems for planning and control modules.
At the same time, ByteDance is also recruiting an "Embodied Intelligence Road Test Development Expert," with work locations in Shanghai and Beijing. The position requires more than 3 years of work experience in intelligent driving, ADAS, or full-vehicle integration test development, and familiarity with common intelligent driving functions such as ACC, LCC/LKA, AEB, NOA, and APA. Core responsibilities include: responsible for road test execution of VLA-based L2+ intelligent driving functions, covering typical scenarios such as highways, urban areas, congestion, and parking; formulating and implementing test plans; promptly identifying and recording functional anomalies and safety risks, producing standardized test reports, and driving the R&D closed loop.
From the above job requirements, it can be seen that ByteDance is exploring the engineering deployment of VLA models on embodied agents (such as intelligent vehicles or robots), covering the complete pipeline from end-to-end algorithm planning and control to real road testing. This is also, following large models, ByteDance's further layout in the intersection of embodied intelligence and autonomous driving.
