  • Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering, research, and product teams to ensure seamless integration of ML systems into real-world applications.
  • Own the full ML lifecycle—from data mining and annotation to training, evaluation, and deployment of production-grade models.
  • Develop scalable and efficient training pipelines that ensure robust, real-time inference performance.
  • Design, develop, and deploy advanced machine learning models for large-scale perception problems.
  • Conduct research and empirical studies to evaluate new architectures, techniques, and algorithmic improvements, incorporating or adapting state-of-the-art methods as appropriate.
  • Build and optimize deep learning architectures for object detection, segmentation, tracking, pose estimation, and scene understanding.
  • Build and contribute to infrastructure and tools for supporting ML Pipeline to automate data labeling, training workflows, evaluation processes, and model versioning.
  • Work extensively with large image, video, lidar and radar datasets to power next-generation computer vision systems.

computer science
  • Proven track record of working autonomously and driving complex technical projects in fast-paced environments.
  • Experience working directly with sensing hardware and understanding its constraints.
  • Expertise in at least one deep learning framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Experience with multi-modal perception (e.g., sensor fusion from cameras, lidar, radar).
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience developing and deploying ML systems at scale.
  • Strong background in computer vision and/or deep learning with practical experience in designing and training neural networks for real-world applications.
  • Strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, geometry, probability, and optimization.
  • Bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical discipline.
  • After 30 Days: You have developed a deep understanding of the current perception architecture, sensor setup, and system requirements. You've identified key challenges in the ML pipelines and proposed initial areas for improvement across data workflows, model performance, and deployment constraints.
  • Experience with GPU/TPU programming and optimization tools (e.g., CUDA, TensorRT).
  • Publications in top-tier ML or CV conferences (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ECCV).
  • After 60 Days: You’ve led the design of a new or improved perception subsystem and contributed hands-on to ML pipeline tooling. You've built a proof of concept aligned with system needs, demonstrating early improvements in performance or reliability based on real-world constraints.
  • Background in autonomous systems, robotics, or other safety-critical domains.
  • After 90 Days: You have delivered a perception feature with a proven working model in offline testing, showing measurable gains. The system is integrated into the pipeline and is progressing toward edge deployment, with a clear impact on overall perception capabilities.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working on interdisciplinary teams.
  • Experience optimizing models for deployment on edge devices with real-time constraints.
  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with standard ML libraries and tools (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Pandas).
  • Knowledge of low-level programming languages like C++ or Rust.
