Outrider is an ambitious company that aims to solve autonomous vehicles for yard/warehouse operation. We are building a special electric truck that can achieve complex maneuvers in huge warehouses, among traffic, people and other complicated settings. This is not your generic autonomous vehicle product: we have a specific setting, specific hardware, and specific customers.

We have great financial backing, a clear product in mind and highly competent engineering team. Now, we want to expand on critical hires.

Now is a time of rapid growth for ML usage at Outrider, and to support these exciting projects a new ML Perception Data team has formed. We are scaling our data collections 100x and increasing the number of projects with plenty of ML solutions . If you enjoy getting in early and having a large impact, this is a great spot to be!
