What you will do:

  • Team Introduction:
  • The Perception team is responsible for developing CV/ML algorithms to understand the surroundings of ego vehicles in real time , including obstacle detection, online mapping, and scene understanding. The perception system takes inputs from multiple sensors across time, and outputs various obstacle-level and scene-level understandings for downstream modules such as prediction and planning, etc. In the Perception team, you will:

  • Develop and deploy cutting-edge perception and deep learning models, including computer vision models, vision-language and large language models (VLMs and LLMs), for real-time integration into our system.
  • Create and optimize data pipelines for data mining, labeling, training, and evaluation, supporting comprehensive onboard development.
  • Conduct advanced research in perception algorithms to address complex, real-world scenarios, focusing on areas like object detection, segmentation, road understanding, and motion prediction.
  • Leverage multi-modal sensor fusion techniques to build robust architectures tailored for autonomous driving.
  • Qualifications:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, with an expected graduation date between December 2025 and June 2026.
  • Strong programming experience in C++ or Python.
  • Experienced in one or more of the following areas: machine learning, robotics, computer vision, data mining, LiDAR.
  • Knowledgeable in data structures, 3D geometry, and advanced algorithms. Solid foundation in core robotics principles, including state estimation, 3D reconstruction, and visual odometry.
  • Excellent software and computing fundamentals.
  • Bonus Points:

  • Experience with Large Language Models (LLM) or Vision Language Models (VLM)
