In this role, you will help us build novel architectures for classifying and understanding the complex and dynamic environments in our cities. You will have access to the best sensor data in the world and an incredible infrastructure for testing, validating and deploying your algorithms.

The prediction team’s role is to provide a probabilistic representation of the future state of the world; in particular, understanding what other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists will do next. We leverage both high-quality sensor data and high-level semantic information to produce data-driven models of the future. This representation is tightly integrated into our planning software to deliver a safe and smooth customer experience.

Qualifications

• BS, MS or PhD degree in computer science or related field
• Fluency in C / C++
• Experience with production ML pipelines: dataset creation, labeling, training, metrics
• Experience with computer vision or machine learning techniques
• Experience with autonomous robots/robotics

Bonus Qualifications

• Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design
• Ability to create functional real time systems that solve difficult prediction tasks
• Experience handling large data sets efficiently
• Strong mathematics skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques
• Experience with designing large-scale scalable software architectures
• Understanding of modern ML techniques
