Job Description

Meet the team:

In the Intelligent Systems team, we convert photons into understanding, primarily via computer vision and machine learning. Our organization is responsible for all downstream tasks of the vehicle sensor suite onboard, as well as the full offboard/cloud infrastructure for machine learning at Latitude.

Come help us make the world safer, and driving more pleasant.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with perception experts and experienced roboticist to build solutions that scale from the lab to the customer, for one of the largest-scale robotics projects in history.
• Architect, design, and implement state of the art and beyond solutions in your domain- some example domains that are within our remit:
• Sensing: From the sensor driver to objects, algorithms to determine everything in the world and its properties.
• Machine Learning & Data Platform: Cloud services for data management, ingest, workflow orchestration, distributed training at scale, and core components of our validation and safety case.
• Mapping: Generating a consistent, geo-tagged representation of the universe for consumption by the fleet.
• Labeling: Managing operators, development of labeling tools, and accelerating our dataset management and distribution analysis.
• State Estimation: Fuse information over time and estimate attributes (e.g. kinematics).
• Localization: Estimate where the vehicle is in the world.
• Calibration: Estimate the location and properties of all sensing systems on the vehicle, and the vehicle itself, in unconstrained environments.
• Performance: Everything about making the systems of the company faster on the vehicle - use resources more efficiently, deploy jobs to accelerators more intelligently, and squeeze more out of the resources on-vehicle.
• Develop production quality software in a fast-paced, highly autonomous environment while maintaining a strong safety culture.

What you'll need to succeed:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, ECE, Robotics, Physics, Mathematics, or related field.
• Significant (10+ years) prior experience in one or more of the domains listed above, or in another domain of relevancy to the autonomous vehicles space.
• Significant (10+ years) of experience in C++ or Python software development.
• Track record of product development culminating in successful launches/releases/etc.

Nice to have:

• Master’s plus 8 year of experience or PhD degree plus 5 years of experience in Robotics, ECE, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Track record of technical leadership (not limited to management) taking products or large features from research to consumer release.

What we offer you:

• Competitive compensation packages
• High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health savings account with available employer match
• Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting
• Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance
• Paid parental leave
• Paid medical leave

• Backup child and elder care program
• Professional development reimbursement
• Employee assistance program
• Discounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more
• Company and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiatives
