Senior Research Scientist - Autonomous Vehicles

Details

We are now recruiting top Senior Research Scientists for Autonomous Vehicle Research! AI-powered autonomous vehicles that can learn, reason, and interact with people are no longer science fiction. Self-driving cars, autonomous delivery vehicles, and autonomous construction vehicles, among others, are getting increasingly close to widespread deployment. However, fundamental research questions still need to be addressed for us to achieve full vehicle autonomy. For instance, how can we: Remove the traditional barriers among perception, prediction, and planning in order to improve overall system performance? Equip autonomous vehicles with online and offline assurances that meet the standards for safety-critical systems? Ensure that autonomous vehicles work seamlessly in new places?

Responsibilities

• Designing and implementing cutting-edge techniques in the field of vehicle autonomy.
• Publish and present your original research, speak at conferences and events.
• Collaborate with other research team members, a diverse set of internal product teams, and external researchers.
• Have a broader impact through the transfer and/or open-source of the technology you've developed to relevant product groups.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 6+ years of relevant research experience in the field of vehicle / robot autonomy.
• Strong knowledge of theory and practice of vehicle / robot autonomy, or a related area with a strong interest in connecting your work to autonomous vehicles.
• A track record of research excellence with your work published in top conferences and journals such as RSS, ICRA, IJRR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, TAC, etc, and other research artifacts such as software projects.
• Excellent collaboration and interpersonal skills.
• Exceptional programming skills in Python; C++ and parallel programming (e.g., CUDA).
• Solid understanding of common machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Tensorflow.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills are required along with the ability to work in a dynamic, research-focused team.
