About the job
Mission Summary:
Join our innovative team as a Staff/Principal Engineer specializing in Perception Capabilities. In this pivotal role, you will leverage advanced computer vision and deep learning technologies to develop state-of-the-art software solutions. Your extensive experience will encompass critical domains such as detection, classification, segmentation, and tracking, alongside essential functions like data engines, labeling policies, training pipelines, model optimization, simulation, and testing. Your commitment to excellence will drive substantial impact on our products, as you take initiative and ownership of outcomes.
We are looking for someone eager to enhance the perception stack of self-driving vehicles. You will navigate unique challenges associated with safety-critical, open-world applications, ensuring rigorous engineering excellence and thorough evaluation.
You will devise innovative solutions to complex issues, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams focused on capabilities to design, implement, and validate comprehensive solutions.
What you’ll be doing:
- Lead the development and implementation of solutions that integrate perception components with downstream modules within our autonomy system.
- Analyze the performance of the perception subsystem, proactively identifying potential limitations regarding system-level capabilities. Document and lead cross-team efforts to resolve any identified hazards.
- Collaborate on innovative solutions to tackle “long tail” challenges, including synthetic data generation, advanced data mining, or utilizing language embeddings in onboard models.
- Depending on your expertise, you may also assist in optimizing and deploying models to vehicles, ensuring compliance with the constraints of our onboard hardware and functional requirements.
- Interface with systems and safety engineers, test engineers, and data analysts to ensure accurate requirements, test coverage, and performance metrics.
