About the role
Company Introduction
At Bot Auto, we are revolutionizing the transportation of goods with our cutting-edge autonomous trucks, enhancing the quality of life for communities around the globe. With the agility of a start-up and the wisdom of seasoned experts, Bot Auto boasts a team that has achieved numerous world-firsts and unparalleled innovations. United by a shared vision, we create miracles and propel the future of transportation. Join us and transform your dreams into reality.
Key Responsibilities
- Model Implementation & Iteration: Participate in the development, training, and optimization of state-of-the-art deep learning models for autonomous driving, with a focus on end-to-end architectures, including perception, online mapping, and end-to-end planning.
- Full Lifecycle Execution: Engage in the entire machine learning workflow under the guidance of domain experts, spanning from data curation and data analysis to model experimentation, hyperparameter tuning, and rigorous performance metric verification.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with simulation, infrastructure, and downstream planning/control teams to deploy, evaluate, and integrate machine learning components into our production pipeline for autonomous trucks.
- Literature Tracking: Stay abreast of the latest research breakthroughs in computer vision and generative AI, and actively bench-test promising SOTA methods to solve real-world corner cases.
How You'll Grow
This matters as much to us as what you'll ship.
- You get a real mentor. Every engineer is paired with senior-level engineers developing you. Mentorship here is weighted toward design and judgment: how to frame a problem, what to build and why, how to tell whether a solution is actually right.
- We promote fast. Managers are expected to push engineers to attempt work above their current level, and to promote in the next cycle when they deliver it.
Qualifications
Required:
- Education: A Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. (including upcoming graduates) in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
- You have trained neural networks. Coursework, research, personal projects, open-source work, and internships all count. We care that you have actually run the loop: built a model, trained it, found out why it was not working, and fixed it.
- Core Knowledge: Strong theoretical foundation in machine learning and deep learning, with a solid understanding of modern architectures (e.g., Transformers, CNNs, Graphs).
- Technical Stack: Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, along with strong software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, and clean coding practices).
- Attributes: High self-motivation, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, a fast learner in a high-velocity startup environment, and a strong team-player mindset.
