The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with multi-modal model training and optimization, a strong foundation in computer vision, and solid C++ engineering skills.
Key Responsibilities- Research and implement multi-modal large models (image-text, image-audio, etc.) training, fine-tuning, and inference optimization strategies, continuously improving model performance, efficiency, and generalization ability.
- Design and optimize computer vision models and algorithms (e.g., detection, classification, segmentation, feature extraction) to support real-world applications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, data) to translate research into scalable, reliable, and production-ready solutions.
- Use C++ to implement and optimize models and systems, including deployment, performance tuning, and integration, ensuring low latency and high throughput.
- Stay up to date with advances in computer vision and multi-modal AI, and apply new methods to improve model performance and product impact.
- Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and knowledge sharing to improve code quality and engineering best practices.
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field, with strong expertise in computer vision and machine learning.
- 1-3 years of experience in multi-modal large model training, fine-tuning, and optimization (e.g., CLIP, Flamingo, BLIP, or self-developed multi-modal models), with a deep understanding of multi-modal fusion mechanisms.
- Strong foundation in computer vision, including object detection, image classification, feature matching, and image enhancement.
- Strong C++ development skills, with proficiency in STL, multi-threading, memory management, and performance optimization; experience in production-level implementation and deployment is required.
- Familiar with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV, OpenMMLab).
- Strong problem-solving ability, self-driven, and passionate about technological innovation; ability to work independently and in a team.
- Experience in edge device algorithm deployment, published papers in top computer vision conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV), or open-source project contributions in related fields.
- A fun, supportive and engaging environment.
- Opportunity to make a significant impact on the transportation revolution by the means of advancing autonomous driving.
- Opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies with the top talent in the field.
- Competitive compensation package.
- Snacks, lunches and fun activities.
