The annotations include 2D, 3D bounding boxes, classes, trajectories, lane lines, segmentations, depths, and high-definition map elements. The annotations are then used by different downstream users — for example, perception teams use them to train various models, mapping teams use them to build and maintain HD maps, and simulation teams use them for generating new data.</p> <h4>What You’ll Do:</h4> <ul> <li>Design, implement, test and deploy offline 3D reconstruction, lane line detection, and automatic mapping/map creation modules to generate high-quality annotations on Cloud Services from logged sensor data (Cameras, Lidars, Radars, GPS/IMU).</li> <li>Build and refine lane line annotation pipelines, applying the latest lane line detection and creation machine learning models to automate and scale map creation.</li> <li>Develop and improve pose estimation algorithms to support accurate localization, sensor fusion, and 3D scene reconstruction.</li> <li>Demonstrate project management skills, serving as project lead guiding less experienced team members in multiple facets of project execution.</li> <li>Stay up to date with the latest developments in AI and ML for autonomous driving, 3D reconstruction, and automated mapping.</li> <li>Independently develop offline perception and mapping models or algorithms using disciplined software development processes, making recommendations for developing new code or re-using existing code, implementing version control, and maintaining documentation of created applications.</li> <li>Define and implement ingestion, data preparation, curation, and governance of large, multi-faceted data sets supporting analytics models and workflows.</li> <li>Proactively assess current capabilities to identify areas for improvement, proposing solutions that align with core strategy and operation.</li> <li>Measure and track auto-labeling and map creation quality to meet internal customer requirements.</li> <li>Guide and produce information products, supporting visualization and data accessibility in a customer-centric manner.</li> <li>Evaluate and make recommendations regarding technical advances that improve productivity and quality, reduce flow times, and enhance operational surety.</li> <li>Develop guidelines and standards for analytics and machine learning models, their deployment, and associated processes.</li> <li>Provide technical guidance or business process expertise, technical leadership, coaching and mentoring to team members.</li> </ul> <h4>What You’ll Need to Succeed:</h4> <ul> <li>Considered highly skilled and proficient in discipline; conducts complex, important work under minimal supervision and with wide latitude for independent judgment.</li> <li>Scope of Influence: Expected to drive alignment across team interfaces to the rest of the organization. Designs, maintains and owns team technical solutions and drives consensus. Mentors and guides engineers within the group.</li> <li>Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or related technical field plus demonstrated competencies and technical proficiencies typically acquired through 6+ years of experience OR;</li> <li>Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or related technical field plus demonstrated competencies and technical proficiencies typically acquired through 3+ years of experience OR;</li> <li><strong>Required Qualifications (some combination of the following skills):</strong> <ul> <li>Experience in lane line annotation creation or automatic mapping/map creation.</li> <li>Familiarity with the latest lane line detection and creation machine learning models.</li> <li>Familiarity with pose estimation.</li> <li>Active Learning & Pseudo-labeling – Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Model training.</li> <li>Two of the following: 2D/3D Object Detection, Tracking, Sensor Fusion, Semantic Segmentation, SLAM, BEV.</li> <li>Scaled ML Operations (MLOps) and Tooling – ML Frameworks, experiment tracking, model registry, MLflow, Weights and Biases, ML Metrics and Evaluation / Quality.</li> <li>Distributed machine learning frameworks – PyTorch, Lightning, Ray.</li> <li>Model Data Curation – Parquet data processing (PyArrow, Daft, Pandas, etc).</li> <li>Development Tools & Eco-System (at scale) – Proficiency in Python software development. Also, VDI and cloud-based development environments, CI Systems (GitHub Actions), and Docker.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h4>Bonus Points!</h4> <ul> <li>PPK/RTK (Post-Processed Kinematic / Real-Time Kinematic) GPS experience.</li> <li>GIS (Geographic Information Systems) experience.</li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Perks of Being a Full-time Torc’r</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Torc cares about our team members and we strive to provide benefits and resources to support their health, work/life balance, and future.
