AT APPLIED INTUITION, YOU WILL
Design, train, and deploy deep learning models for 3D object detection across LiDAR, camera, and radar sensors.
Build multi-sensor fusion architectures that combine independent detection and classification streams.
Characterize perception failure modes, build targeted evaluation sets, and hill-climb system-level metrics.
Build and operate the data engine: shadow-mode comparison against production, automated data mining, and retraining loops.
Contribute to camera- and LiDAR-based localization perception under degraded conditions.
Take your work through the full safety validation pipeline before it operates on public roads.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of professional experience in ML-based perception, computer vision, or robotics.
Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
Hands-on experience training and deploying deep learning models in production (e.g., PyTorch).
Solid grounding in classical perception: multi-object tracking, state estimation, and 3D geometry.
NICE TO HAVE
Experience working in modern ML-based perception for autonomous systems.
Experience with multi-sensor calibration and fusion.
Experience optimizing models for onboard/embedded GPU inference.
Background in safety-critical or automotive software development.
Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment.
