• 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.

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.

• 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.

• Computer vision. Research or projects in computer vision, and particularly in 3D.
• Specific Research Directions: Academic thesis or deeply focused research experience in one or more of the following domains:
• Computer Vision (2D or 3D)
• Online Mapping, Vectorization, or Visual SLAM
• Prediction and Behavioral Modeling
• Academic Achievements: A track record of research publications in machine learning, computer vision, or robotics conferences/journals (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICRA, IROS).
• Engineering Plus: Hands-on experience with model deployment, quantization, distillation, or inference acceleration tools (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX, CUDA, C++).
• Industry Exposure: Prior internship experience within the autonomous driving industry or advanced robotics labs.
