Zoox is looking for a software engineer to join our Perception team and help us build novel architectures for classifying and understanding the complex and dynamic environments in our cities. In this role, you will have access to the best sensor data in the world and an incredible infrastructure for testing and validating your algorithms. We are creating new algorithms for segmentation, tracking, classification, and high-level scene understanding, and you could work on any (or all!) of these components.

You will be part of a dynamic team with diverse backgrounds from software engineering, machine learning, probability theory and state estimation.

Responsibilities

Day to day activities span from research and literature review of state of the art solutions
Design, experimentation and validation of selected solutions
Real time implementation and deployment on vehicle
Software design, implementation, and optimization; etc.

Qualifications

Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in computer science, statistics, mathematics or related field
Fluency in C++ and Python
Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design
Demonstrated ability to create realtime systems that solve difficult perception tasks
Strong mathematical skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques
Experience with tracking techniques like data association and state estimation
Experience with modern machine learning techniques like transformers

Bonus Qualifications

Publications in your field (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA preferred)
Experience with experience building perception pipelines that work with real data in rapidly changing and uncertain environments.
Experience with autonomous robots
Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. LiDAR, camera, radar)
Experience with data representations like pointclouds, meshes, voxel-representation, pixel-domain, etc.
Experience with nonlinear non Gaussian multi hypotheses tracking
Experience with probabilistic representations of neural networks output
Experience with weighted nonlinear least square estimation like GTSAM
Experience with ML Python libraries like PyTorch, TensorFlow, NumPy, Pandas, etc.
