    • Experience with autonomous robots
    • Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. LiDAR, camera, radar)
    • Experience with novel pipelines and architectures for convolutional neural nets 
    • Experience with 3D data and representations (pointclouds, meshes, etc.)
Compensation
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary will range from $216,000 to $272,000.
