Job Description
• Own the model roadmap for Road & Lane Detection within the Model Dev ML org — from concept through production-grade model maturity.
• Research, design, and train advanced neural architectures (e.g., multi-camera BEV transformers, LiDAR-vision fusion models, topological lane graph networks) to detect, segment, and model road structures and lane connectivity.
• Lead data strategy for this domain — defining data curation, labeling policies, and active learning pipelines to capture long-tail scenarios (e.g., occlusions, complex merges, construction zones).
• Develop robust metrics and evaluation frameworks for lane and road geometry accuracy, temporal consistency, and cross-domain generalization.
• Advance foundational capabilities such as self-supervised pretraining, synthetic-to-real adaptation, and temporal modeling for road and lane understanding.
• Drive large-scale experiments — designing, running, and analyzing results from distributed training workflows and ablations to identify scalable improvements.
• Collaborate with other model dev/perception teams to ensure model coherence and interface consistency.
• Mentor engineers and scientists, setting best practices for model training, evaluation, and code quality.
• Stay ahead of the research frontier by evaluating and adapting emerging techniques (e.g., BEV-based large models, vectorized map prediction, lane graph transformers) to production-grade perception.
Job Requirements
- 10+ years of experience developing deep learning models for perception or computer vision at scale.
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Deep expertise in semantic and instance segmentation, BEV modeling, or scene topology estimation.
- Strong understanding of lane and road geometry modeling, camera calibration, and sensor projection.
- Proficiency with Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Lightning).
- Experience with distributed training pipelines, experiment management, and large-scale dataset handling.
- Proven leadership in guiding technical roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and driving measurable model improvements.
Benefits
- A competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees
- 401K plan with a 6% employer match
- Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date)
- AD+D and Life Insurance
