About the role

The Perception Architecture team is responsible for tackling complex, cross-cutting issues in Stack AV's approach to perception development and accelerating our delivery of perception capabilities.
Many problems in the self-driving trucking industry are not well represented in the literature, requiring novel approaches or formulations to tackle challenging perception problems for the product.

Responsibilities

Drive the initial implementation and prototyping of key architectural decisions, such as handling long tail challenges or long range detection.
Lead challenging technical topics and build consensus across sister teams (e.g., Actor Detection, Scene Understanding, Tracking) and stakeholders to ensure autonomy-wide alignment.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will develop foundational ML architecture and systematic approaches to challenging, cross-cutting perception problems to ensure the self-driving system scales robustly and efficiently.
This role will work closely with other teams to identify pain points and forward looking challenges, develop novel experiments to define future direction, and collaborate with other AI teams to convert these discoveries into products.

Requirements

Track record of driving applied research or engineering projects from conception and experimentation to successful productization.
Fluency in Python and hands-on experience with C++.
Experience delivering detection, segmentation, tracking, or other perception solutions for real-time robotic applications, with prior experience in sensor fusion being highly desirable.
BS (with 4+ years of experience), MS (with 2+ years of experience), or PhD (with 1+ years of experience) in a perception-related field, such as Robotics, Computer Vision, or Machine Learning.
Extensive experience architecting, training, and evaluating deep learning models for challenging problem spaces.
Strong experience in software engineering, machine learning algorithm design, and building data/metrics pipelines for ML development.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.
