Requirements

Strong technical background. You are currently pursuing an MS or Ph.D. and have hands-on experience in designing and implementing deep neural networks and other computer vision algorithms. You are a skilled software engineer with experience in C++ and strong problem-solving skills. You are passionate about solving real-world robotics problems, and you have ideally worked on autonomous robots before. You ideally also have a strong knowledge of data processing pipelines for training ML models in the cloud.
A team player. You take ownership and work with the team to deliver exceptional results. You are interested in the performance of the entire system across engineering disciplines.
Ability to build and iterate quickly. You enjoy working fast and smart, and you are comfortable in the earlier stages of developing an algorithm from scratch.
Hands on. You are not only passionate about robotics research but are also experienced working with deployed robotics systems.
Great communicator. You have experience writing clear, concise, and detailed documentation. You can enable your colleagues to leverage the ML models resulting from your work in their algorithms and systems.

Responsibilities

Be responsible for designing perception algorithms and implementing them in robust, efficient, and well-tested C++ and/or Python code.
Lead the development of perception algorithms (learned and non-learned) to solve real-world robotics challenges such as lane detection, object detection and classification, sensor fusion, multi-object-tracking, state estimation, and anomaly detection.
Work with camera, laser, radar, and ultrasound data to build and evaluate real world perception systems.
Set up automated training pipelines and develop data analytics tools to improve our performance.

Mission & Purpose

Kodiak Robotics is an autonomous technology company redefining the long-haul trucking industry. We believe self-driving trucks will be the first economically viable application of autonomous vehicle technology. We founded Kodiak in the spring of 2018 to make that belief a reality. Safety is our top priority. We are taking a safe and responsible approach to developing and testing our technology. We are proud to work with some of the best in the business. We’ve built a world class team of technologists from leading autonomous driving programs who know the industry inside and out. Our combined experience and commitment to the vision will allow us to put self-driving technology on the road in the safest and most effective way.
