Senior AI Engineer (Hybrid role requires 3 days/week onsite)

We are unable to consider OPT/CPT candidates at this time.

Role Summary

This role will be tasked with applying machine learning/deep learning to the automotive industry. Applications could include autonomous driving, manufacturing, design etc. This is more than a purely academic role – you will likely need to integrate the modules you build into real cars and also think about questions around testability and proving safety. Working in our facility requires a high level of independence and an ability to deal with lots of ambiguity. The incumbent will not be given clear cut projects – instead this individual and subsequent team will be responsible for coming up with the “next big thing” that nobody has thought of as yet, building it and selling it.

To be considered, Candidates MUST have extensive experience in the following: Computer Vision, Deep Learning, forecasting, transformers, CNNs. You must also possess strong experience building data models.
