Latitude AI
Senior Software Engineer, Map Algorithms
Latitude AI, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Latitude AI ( lat.ai ) is an automated driving technology company developing a hands-free, eyes-off driver assist system for next-generation Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering –
all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.Meet the team:The Unified Model development team is a group of highly skilled and experienced professionals who specialize in cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning technology. Together, we collaborate to create advanced detection models that are capable of generating representations of both static and dynamic actors. These representations are then utilized by various downstream autonomy consumers including motion planning, prediction, and localization.The team's primary focus is on developing compute-efficient, multi-view, multi-sensor deep learning models that can perform a wide range of tasks such as 3D object detection, lane line detection, state estimation, and scene segmentation. The ultimate goal is to take these algorithms from the lab to the road, ensuring that they are optimized for onboard performance and able to function as production-grade vision systems on vehicles.To achieve this goal, the team constantly stays up-to-date with the latest research literature and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. We are dedicated to developing cutting-edge ML algorithms and models that can help vehicles reason about the world around them in real-time.What you’ll do:Develop spatio-temporal machine learning models for detection, multi-sensor fusion, segmentation, etcRead literature, analyze raw data, and design state-of-the-art solutionsTransition solutions from the lab to the test track and public roads to ensure successful production-level implementationCollaborate with perception experts and experienced roboticist on algorithm design, prototyping, testing, deployment, and productizationBuild and maintain industry-leading software practices and principlesDevelop clean and efficient software for perception modules interfacing with other key modulesShow initiative and be a valued team member in a fast-paced, innovative, and entrepreneurial environmentWhat you'll need to succeed:Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 2+ years of relevant experience)Relevant knowledge and experience in machine learning, with a proven track record of developing and deploying deep learning solutions using PyTorch, Tensorflow, or similar frameworksExperience in developing perception systems using sensors such as Camera, Radar, and LiDARStrong experience in computer vision, perception, and point cloud processingProven experience in shipping computer vision software products to industry or consumersAt least 4 years of development experience in Python/C++ environmentsNice to have:Ph.D. with machine learning focus, or equivalent experienceExperience developing and deploying temporal computer vision models (for instance, video activity recognition or using multiple frames for improved results on other tasks)What we offer you:Competitive compensation packagesHigh-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insuranceHealth savings account with available employer matchEmployer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vestingEmployer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurancePaid parental leavePaid medical leaveUnlimited vacation15 paid holidaysComplimentary daily lunches, beverages, and snacks for onsite employeesPre-tax spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care expensesPre-tax commuter benefitsMonthly wellness stipendAdoption/Surrogacy support programBackup child and elder care programProfessional development reimbursementEmployee assistance programDiscounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and moreCompany and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiativesLearn more about Latitude’s team, mission and career opportunities at lat.ai !The expected base salary range for this full-time position in California is $174,000 - $261,000 USD. Actual starting pay will be based on job-related factors, including exact work location, experience, relevant training and education, and skill level. Latitude employees are also eligible to participate in Latitude’s annual bonus programs, equity compensation, and generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements.Candidates for positions with Latitude AI must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis.
