About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Tracking Team, you will drive the delivery of both classical and machine learning solutions to core tracking challenges within our self-driving system. A central function of the tracking team is the real-time, temporally consistent estimation of the local scene (including actors, obstacles, and map features) based on a history of sensor data. In this role, you will be instrumental in the design and delivery of algorithms and models that run onboard the AV, evaluating the perception system's performance against production requirements, and contributing to the long-term technical vision of the team.

Requirements

• Experience architecting, training, and deploying ML models into real-world environments.
• Track record of driving applied research projects from start to completion, including conception, problem definition, experimentation, iteration, and finally publication or productization.
• Experience delivering perception/tracking solutions for real-time robotic applications.
• Knowledge and experience employing advanced probabilistic algorithms to solve problems involving uncertain inputs and imperfect models.
• Strong experience in software engineering and algorithm design.
• Fluency in Python and C++.

Responsibilities

• Work in a team to deliver state-of-the-art closed- and open- world tracking systems for L4 self-driving vehicles.
• Contribute to the technical direction of the tracking team and broader perception org.
• Write robust software for real-time, resource-constrained, safety-critical applications.
• Drive highly cross-functional features and work streams from problem statement to delivery.
• Proactively identify limitations with the existing perception system and drive improvements.
• Root-cause issues that arise onboard, and provide solutions.
• Align stakeholders with strong presentation and communication skills.
• Lead challenging technical topics and build consensus.
