Job Description

Not hearing back from companies?

Unlock the secrets to a successful job application and accelerate your journey to your next opportunity.

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 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.

Responsibilities

You will write algorithms to process raw sensor data, track dynamic agents, and predict the future state for agents
You will apply distributed compute algorithms to efficiently analyze petabytes of urban driving data
You will develop metrics and tools for analyzing errors and understanding improvements in our systems
You will engineer software that runs on-vehicle to efficiently execute our algorithms in real time
You will engineer software that is fault-tolerant and conforms to automotive safety standards
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

BS, MS, or PhD degree in computer science or related field
Fluency in C++
Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design
8+ years of experience in a related field
