• This team tackles a wide range of problems: ML-based perception across all sensor modalities including audio, estimating object velocity and acceleration with high accuracy, onboard latency optimization, and developing tooling for large scale data curation.
• Partner with a tight-knit group of engineers who focus on collision avoidance.
• Participate in the design and implementation of a system that spans perception, planning, and control.
• Contribute to designing the validation methodology in order to validate a system that is required to perform at extremely high recall and precision on exceedingly rare events.
• BS in relevant engineering fields, such as CS, EE, or applied mathematics.
• Strong coding skills in C++.
• Experience deploying software in robotics products.
• Willingness to sweat the details and strive for precision in your work.
• Additional preferred experience:
• Deploying ML models in edge environments.
• Developing state estimation algorithms for tracking applications.
• Optimizing architectures to explore the accuracy vs. compute tradeoff.
