New Grads 2027 - Software Engineer - Perception/Computer Vision

What you will do:

• Team Introduction:
The AI team is responsible for developing CV/ML algorithms to understand the surroundings of ego vehicles in real time , including obstacle detection, online mapping, and scene understanding. The perception system takes inputs from multiple sensors across time, and outputs various obstacle-level and scene-level understandings for downstream modules such as prediction and planning, etc. In the AI team, you will:
 
• Develop and deploy cutting-edge perception and deep learning models, including computer vision models, vision-language and large language models (VLMs and LLMs), for real-time integration into our system.
• Create and optimize data pipelines for data mining, labeling, training, and evaluation, supporting comprehensive onboard development.
• Conduct advanced research in perception algorithms to address complex, real-world scenarios, focusing on areas like object detection, segmentation, road understanding, and motion prediction.
• Leverage multi-modal sensor fusion techniques to build robust architectures tailored for autonomous driving.

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field, with an expected graduation date between December 2026 and June 2027.
• Strong programming experience in C++ or Python.
• Experienced in one or more of the following areas: machine learning, robotics, computer vision, data mining, LiDAR.
• Knowledgeable in data structures, 3D geometry, and advanced algorithms.
• Solid foundation in core robotics principles, including state estimation, 3D reconstruction, and visual odometry.
• Excellent software and computing fundamentals.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Large Language Models (LLM) or Vision Language Models (VLM)
