At Ford Motor Company, we believe freedom of movement drives human progress. We also believe in providing you with the freedom to define and realize your dreams. With our incredible plans for the future of mobility, we have a wide variety of opportunities for you to accelerate your career potential as you help us define tomorrow’s transportation.
Autonomous Vehicles will play a major role in many of these upcoming mobility solutions. In fact, Autonomous Vehicles will play a key role in the future of Ford, in the future of transportation, and in the future of how people interact with their world.
This future is being created today by Ford’s AV LLC team. This fun, fast-moving, innovative group of highly skilled and motivated people is looking for candidates to support research and developmental efforts in producing fully-autonomous vehicles (SAE Level 4).
What you’ll be able to do:
We are seeking a diligent, detail-driven professional for our position of “Autonomous Vehicle Perception Engineer”. This position entails developing, implementing, and testing perception algorithms for scene understanding using Computer Vision and Machine Learning. The AV needs to understand its 3D environment, to plan a safe path through it, and therefore needs to detect the 3D position of vehicles, pedestrians and other objects around it. Cameras – in monocular, stereoscopic and structured-light configurations and LIDARs will be used for this task. Monocular depth estimation, semantic segmentation, 3D object detection and 6-DoF pose estimation are some of the tasks that will be under the purview of this position.
You will have a strong grasp of computer science fundamentals, software engineering skills and Machine Learning knowledge. You will have a solid background in Computer Vision and be comfortable with the latest literature in CNNs, loss-functions and development frameworks like Tensor-flow, Keras and Pytorch. You will also well-versed in software engineering best practice and tool-chains used for integrating these ML algorithms into a production pipeline. In addition to Python for ML, you should be proficient with C++, that will be used for the overarching Self-Driving Software framework (SDS). You should understand modern build systems, have familiarity with version control and have used agile programming practice in a professional setting. Finally, you should have some experience in deploying CV/ML solutions in real-world applications.
Your responsibilities will include the following:
