Responsibilities

  • Architect and advance perception algorithms for scene understanding, obstacle detection, terrain modeling, sensor fusion, and machine awareness.
  • Develop, train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models for object detection, segmentation, depth estimation, and terrain understanding.
  • Optimize perception models for real-time inference on edge compute platforms.
  • Build scalable data pipelines for training, evaluation, and model iteration.
  • Integrate perception outputs with robotics, controls, localization, SLAM, mapping, planning, and safety systems.
  • Develop robust, testable, and observable perception interfaces and debug systems using field data.
  • Research and apply state-of-the-art machine learning and perception methods on autonomous machines deployed in the field.

Requirements

  • Experience designing, training, and evaluating machine learning models and shipping production models.
  • Strong understanding of ML optimization, gradients, regularization, bias-variance tradeoffs, training dynamics, and data imbalance.
  • Experience with 2D and 3D machine perception, computer vision, sensor calibration, classification, detection, segmentation, and tracking.
  • Understanding of image representations, augmentations, preprocessing, CNNs, transformers, evaluation metrics, and precision/recall, mAP, and IoU tradeoffs.
  • Proven track record of deployed ML-based perception systems, ideally for autonomous vehicles.
  • Excellent software development skills in Python and proficiency in TensorFlow, PyTorch, and C++.
  • Ability to solve complex problems creatively and work hands-on with real-world hardware and field deployments.

Benefits

  • Company-funded medical, dental, vision, 401k, and life insurance.
