Role

Who you are

BS, MS, or PhD in Software, Robotics, or related field
4+ years of machine learning engineering experience for robotics applications
Experience developing high-quality software from design and implementation to testing and deployment
Expertise with Python, willingness to do some C++ development as needed
Experience training with modern frameworks (e.g. PyTorch)
A rigorous approach to model development: running well-designed experiments, defining suitable training and validation datasets, and evaluating on the right metrics
Hands-on familiarity with cloud data ingestion pipelines
Strong communication and collaborative skills

What the job involves

We’re looking for a machine learning engineer to train and deploy the latest generation of ML-based planning algorithms on the extensive data we collect every day across our autonomous trucking fleet
Use complex map and perception sensor output to develop novel deep learning models for our planning stack
Design critical safety checks to ensure driving trajectories are feasible and follow rules of road
Ensure all model development keeps a real-time focus and operates efficiently in compute-constrained environments
Track and incorporate the latest multidisciplinary research advancements in a fast-moving field

Our take

With self-driving vehicles becoming more common, the tuck shipping industry stands to benefit from autonomous driving technology, particularly given the current shortage of drivers in the US.

PlusAI provides self-driving technology for trucks to make fleets safer, more fuel-efficient, and sustainable. It uses machine learning to analyze routes and scenarios, providing real-time data to trucks equipped with the PlusDrive system. Unlike competitors focusing on urban transportation, PlusAI is tackling long-distance logistics, though regulatory challenges in the US remain a concern.

Currently, Plus offers a system that enhances driver safety and efficiency, while continuing to develop fully autonomous solutions. Following a successful pilot with IVECO, PlusAI is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into other European markets, like Spain, very soon.
