Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Collision Avoidance System

2 Months ago • 8 Years + • Artificial Intelligence • Undisclosed

About the job

Job Description

The Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is responsible for detecting and reacting to imminent collision situations in support of our vehicle’s overall safety goals. CAS Perception is responsible for processing raw sensor data from our vehicle’s world-class sensor suite using a combination of geometric, interpretable algorithms and deep learning to detect near-collisions with obstacles along our intended driving path, in the most challenging dense urban environments and under tight compute resource constraints. Overall, CAS is parallel and complementary to our Main Artificial Intelligence (AI) autonomy stack, and has a close relationship with our vehicle hardware and safety teams in order to architect redundancy into our overall driving system.

    • You will coordinate cross-functional initiatives with other teams across CAS, Systems Engineering, QA, and more
    • You will develop new algorithms that consume raw sensor data input to detect dynamic entities in the world
    • You will leverage our large-scale machine learning infrastructure to discover new solutions and push the boundaries of the field
    • You will engineer software that runs on-vehicle to efficiently execute our algorithms in real time
    • You will develop metrics and tools to analyze errors and understand improvements of our systems
    • You will collaborate with engineers on the other parts of CAS Perception, CAS Verification & Validation, CAS Planner, and the Main AI teams to solve the overall Autonomous Driving problem in complex urban environments

Qualifications
