We are looking for a highly skilled Perception Intern to join us and solve real-world robotics problems.

In this role you will:

  • Be responsible for designing perception algorithms and implementing them in robust, efficient, and well-tested C++ code.
  • Solve real-world perception challenges such as lane detection, object detection and classification, tracking, sensor fusion, localization, mapping, or sensor calibration.
  • Integrate both novel and well-established techniques such as deep neural networks, decision trees, Kalman and particle filters, or point cloud processing on camera, laser, radar, and ultrasound data.
  • Collaborate closely with other experts on the team, including the AI, planning, and systems engineering teams.

Qualifications:

  • Strong technical background.
  • You are currently pursuing a MS or PhD and have experience designing and implementing perception algorithms; exceptional candidates pursuing a BS considered. 
  • You are a skilled software engineer with experience in C++ and strong problem-solving skills. 
  • You are passionate about solving real-world robotics problems, and you have ideally worked on autonomous robots before. Prior knowledge of working with deep neural networks is a strong plus.
  • A team player. You take ownership and work with the team to deliver exceptional results. You are interested in the performance of the entire system across engineering disciplines.
  • Ability to build and iterate quickly. You enjoy working fast and smart, and you are comfortable in the earlier stages of developing an algorithm from scratch.
  • Hands on. You dig deep into important details such as the sensor driver if it improves the overall system.
  • You like working with production machine learning pipelines, from dataset collection and labeling to training and validation.
  • Great communicator. You have experience writing clear, concise, and detailed documentation.
