We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a software engineer with expertise in perception for autonomous vehicles or mobile robots. Your contributions will focus on building out key capabilities of perception modules within an autonomous vehicle stack, such as building 4D world representations to support end-to-end autonomy. You will also drive the design and development of computer vision and machine learning techniques to enable self-driving vehicles to navigate.
In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry. We move fast and focus on excellence, for our products and for our business. If you are hands-on and looking for a place to have a multiplying effect on making autonomous systems a reality, Applied Intuition is the place for you!
We are hiring for all levels.
AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL:
- Train, modify, and create beyond-SOTA algorithms for constructing powerful world representations that can be used for perception, world modeling, and ML driven autonomy
- Test and evaluate your algorithms on real vehicles, owning large portions of the autonomy stack and ensuring that they provide real improvements to the driving abilities
- Work closely with our data, behavior, and research teams to develop the most advanced autonomy software for all domains to deploy to production for our customers
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS:
- 3+ years of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address real-world perception challenges
