Responsibilities include developing object detection, multi-object tracking, semantic segmentation, and depth estimation models. The position involves collaborating with technical founders and perception leads to test work on recorded mission data and field trials.

Key Responsibilities

Build and improve object detection and multi-object tracking for autonomous platforms.
Develop semantic segmentation and depth estimation to provide downstream autonomy with a reliable scene view.
Prepare datasets, train and compare models, and select approaches based on measured results.
Extend evaluation and replay tooling to measure improvements on recorded data prior to field deployment.
Optimize models to execute on onboard compute under real-time constraints.
Analyze mission logs, reproduce failures, and resolve root causes for reliable performance in real conditions.
Write clean, tested production code and review peer contributions.
