Company mission
To build driving intelligence to power a safer and greener world.
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 drives in the US.
Plus 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, Plus 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, Plus is testing its automated trucks on German roads and plans to expand into European markets.
