• Relevant knowledge and experience in machine learning, with a proven track record of developing and deploying deep learning solutions using PyTorch, Tensorflow, or similar frameworks
• Experience in developing multi-object tracking systems using classical algorithms or machine learning algorithms
• Strong experience in deep learning, Bayesian filtering, and optimization algorithms
• At least 2 years of development experience in Python/C++ environment

Responsibilities

• Develop machine learning models and Bayesian algorithms for multi-object tracking, state estimation, and uncertainty estimation
• Develop deep learning models with temporal fusion for scene state estimation including occupancy, visibility, motion (velocity), and uncertainty
• Develop estimation algorithms for road feature estimation such as lane lines and speed limit as well as estimating the road shape
• Read literature, analyze raw data, and design state-of-the-art solutions
• Transition solutions from the lab to the test track and public roads to ensure successful production-level implementation
• Collaborate with perception experts and experienced roboticists on algorithm design, prototyping, testing, deployment, and productization
• Build and maintain industry-leading software practices and principles
• Develop clean and efficient software for perception modules interfacing with other key modules
• Show initiative and be a valued team member in a fast-paced, innovative, and entrepreneurial environment

Preferred Qualifications
