Not sure what skills you will need for this opportunity Simply read the full description below to get a complete picture of candidate requirements.

As a member of the Detection, you'll be responsible for helping build sensor fusion models for detecting agents around the robot. You will work on building the vision backbone of the detector by designing sensor fusion models for Zoox's sensor data. You will work on incorporating SOTA language alignment strategies into the per-sensor modality backbones and help Zoox advance faster into new geofences by making the models more generalizable and adaptable to new circumstances.

In This Role, You Will

Train and upgrade current image backbone by performing various studies into incorporating SOTA approaches to be multi-frame, even higher resolution and using large foundational, language-aligned feature encoder Deploy temporal image backbone into on-vehicle inference architecture and optimize runtime compute resource; Incorporate temporal information into the the existing Zoox’s multi-sensor (Vision, Lidar and Radar) early fusion system to predict object velocity and scene flow Develop effective metrics and evaluating algorithm performance with these metrics to demonstrate improvement. Collaborate with teams such as ML Optimization, Data Labeling, V&V/Metrics and Planner/Prediction to ensure project is successful for Zoox releases

Qualifications

Master's degree or PhD in computer science or related field Experience with Vision Language Model or multi-modal 3D foundation model. Experience with Python and/or C++ Experience with model deployment with TensorRT Proficient in PyTorch model design, implementation, training and evaluation.

Bonus Qualifications

GPU/CUDA programming experience Experience with customized TRT plugin development Experience working with LiDAR, Camera and Radar data

$172,000 - $235,000 a year
