The role
We’re searching for a computer vision and machine learning engineer with at least 3 years experience developing algorithms and training models for one of the following: object detection, tracking, segmentation, pose estimation, and classification of obstacle types (vehicle, truck, pedestrian, etc.).
The Engineer, Computer Vision & Machine Learning, will join a team that is developing the next-generation perception stack for the Outrider fleet of autonomous trucks. The team is working on interesting and challenging problems in pose estimation and object detection using LIDAR, RADAR, vision, and GNSS/INS.
The engineer in this role will help drive the development of perception capabilities by owning the full development lifecycle model, from dataset curation and model development to integration with the perception pipeline.
The Engineer, Computer Vision & Machine Learning will report to the Manager of Machine Learning and develop perception-based software capabilities through all phases of Outrider's pilot and deployment programs. This position plays an essential role in helping deliver a reliable, profitable, performant, safety-critical system -- it offers a very talented software engineer the chance to help develop a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model.
The ideal candidate will embrace our goal to drive zero-emission, self-driving vehicle adoption, and help us realize our potential to define, build, and lead a new category of robotic automation for the enterprise.
