Responsibilities
- Design, train, and deploy deep-learning models for 3D object detection using LiDAR, camera, and radar sensors.
- Build multi-sensor fusion architectures combining independent detection and classification streams.
- Characterize perception failure modes, create targeted evaluation sets, and improve system-level metrics.
- Build and operate the data engine, including shadow-mode comparison, automated data mining, and retraining loops.
- Contribute to camera- and LiDAR-based localization perception under degraded conditions.
- Take perception capabilities through formal simulation, closed-course, and safety validation before public-road deployment.
- Collaborate with behavior and planning engineers, systems and safety engineers, and validation teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related field.
- At least five years of professional experience in ML-based perception, computer vision, or robotics.
- Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
- Hands-on experience training and deploying deep-learning models in production, such as with PyTorch.
- Solid grounding in multi-object tracking, state estimation, and 3D geometry.
- Experience with modern ML-based perception for autonomous systems, multi-sensor calibration and fusion, onboard or embedded GPU inference, safety-critical or automotive software, or startup environments is preferred.
Benefits
- Primarily in-office work five days per week, with occasional remote-work flexibility and schedule flexibility for personal commitments.
