Desirable

  • Publications in computer vision, NLP, or robotics
  • Experience with driver assistance or autonomous driving systems
  • Experience in evaluating and improving system-in-the-loop model performance

What the job involves

  • You will develop ML-first behavior modules that can forecast the future motions of road users and predict their interactions
  • You will work closely with the perception team on areas such as training data generation, and with the planning team on ML-based planner development
  • In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will contribute to and learn from best practices in the nascent autonomy industry
  • Prototype, evaluate, refine, and deploy state-of-the-art ML algorithms that predict the future motion of the ego agent and other road users in the scene

  • Collaborate tightly with perception and planning engineers on many cross-team initiatives

Our take

Autonomous vehicles present a lot of challenging problems to engineers, particularly in terms of safety and reliability, and testing and development can be infamously slow. Applied Intuition provides software to run simulations and tests for autonomous vehicles more quickly and effectively, speeding up the development and launch of AVs for multiple industries.

With big companies such as Tesla and Google focused on developing automation, Applied Intuition has the scope to provide the software that makes it a reality. The company’s suite of simulation, validation, and drive log management software aids in the more efficient deployment of autonomous vehicles, with companies such as Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors relying on its solutions.

As the autonomous vehicles market accelerates, Applied Intuition is well set for growth, especially as it continues to expand its capabilities. Notable developments include the acquisitions of CarSim, Scenebox and Embark Trucks, as well as partnerships with AMBA and Valeo. All these efforts seek to bolster the company's offering towards supporting the faster and safer deployment of AVs.
