About the job
Build and operate scalable algorithms that identify and evaluate driving scenarios in autonomous-truck sensor data.
What you'll do
- Design and implement event-detection algorithms for multi-sensor time-series data, combining rule-based methods with learned components where appropriate.
- Create ground-truth evaluation, scenario metrics, failure analysis, and regression tests for tagger quality.
- Deploy and optimize production taggers on Databricks/Spark, including CI and monitoring across large vehicle-data logs.
What they ask for
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field plus 6+ years of experience; or a master’s degree in one of these fields plus 3+ years of experience.
- Demonstrated algorithm-design experience with real-world sensor, time-series, or geospatial data.
- Strong Python skills, including NumPy, pandas, and SciPy, and working proficiency in SQL.
- Experience evaluating algorithm quality against labeled or ground-truth data; hands-on exposure to distributed compute, a cloud platform, and CI/CD.
Nice to have
- Autonomous-vehicle or robotics data experience, including ROS bags/MCAP, HD maps, or lane-relative coordinates.
- Experience with VLMs, auto-labeling, scenario standards, infrastructure-as-code, observability, model serving, or columnar storage formats.
