About the role

  • Contribute to the technical direction of the Perception Architecture team and the broader perception organization.
  • Design and develop core machine learning components and architectures that enable the perception system to scale and reliably address complex, long-tail driving scenarios.
  • Drive the initial implementation and prototyping of key architectural decisions, such as handling long tail challenges or long range detection.
  • Contribute to the improvement of model frameworks, architecture, and data pipelines to eliminate development bottlenecks and accelerate model iteration.
  • Lead challenging technical topics and build consensus across sister teams (e.g., dynamic world, static world) and stakeholders to ensure autonomy-wide alignment.

Requirements

  • BS (with 6+ years of experience), MS (with 5+ years of experience), or PhD (with 3+ years of experience) in a perception-related field, such as Robotics, Computer Vision, or Machine Learning.
  • Extensive experience architecting, training, and deploying deep learning models into real-world, safety-critical environments.
  • Track record of driving applied research or engineering projects from conception and experimentation to successful productization.
  • Strong experience in software engineering, machine learning algorithm design, and building data/metrics pipelines for ML development.
  • Fluency in Python and hands-on experience with C++.
  • Experience delivering detection, segmentation, tracking, or other perception solutions for real-time robotic applications, with prior experience in sensor fusion being highly desirable.
Benefits
  • We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
  • We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes.
  • We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
