• Model Evaluation Automation: Design, build, and maintain automated model evaluation pipelines that run against every candidate model before release. Implement objective and subjective quality metrics (WER, SER, MOS, latency/throughput) across STT, TTS, and STS product lines. • Release Gate Integration: Embed model quality checkpoints into CI/CD and release pipelines. Define pass/fail criteria, build dashboards for model comparison, and own the go/no-go signal for model promotions to production. • Agent & Model Evaluation Frameworks: Stand up and operate evaluation tooling (Coval, Braintrust, Blue Jay, custom harnesses) for end-to-end voice agent testing—covering accuracy, latency, turn-taking, and conversational quality and custom metrics across real-world scenarios. • Active Learning & Data Ingestion Testing: Partner with the Active Learning team to validate data ingestion infrastructure, annotation pipelines, and retraining automation. Ensure data quality standards are met at every stage of the flywheel. • Industry Benchmark Automation: Automate execution and reporting of industry-standard benchmarks (e.g., LibriSpeech, CommonVoice, internal production-traffic evals). Maintain reproducible benchmark environments and publish results for internal consumption. • Language & Domain Validation: Build and maintain test suites for multi-language and domain-specific model validation. Design coverage matrices that ensure new languages and acoustic domains are systematically evaluated before GA. • Retraining Automation Support: Validate the end-to-end retraining pipeline across all data sources—from data selection and preprocessing through training, evaluation, and promotion—ensuring automation reliability and correctness. • Manual Test Feedback Loop: Design and operate human-in-the-loop evaluation workflows for subjective quality assessment. Build the tooling and processes that translate human feedback into actionable quality signals for the ML team.
