Job Description
The Perception team at Zoox is fundamental to our autonomous vehicle technology creating the understanding of the world for our self-driving robots. We enable safe and efficient navigation in complex environments through sophisticated detection classification and tracking systems.
As a member of the Detection youll be responsible for helping build sensor fusion models for detecting agents around the will work on building the vision backbone of the detector by designing sensor fusion models for Zooxs sensor data. You will work on incorporating SOTA language alignment strategies into the per-sensor modality backbones and help Zoox advance faster into new geofences by making the models more generalizable and adaptable to new circumstances.
In this role you will:
- Train and upgrade current image backbone byperforming various studies into incorporating SOTA approaches to be multi-frame even higher resolution and using large foundational language-aligned feature encoder
- Deploy temporal image backbone into on-vehicle inference architecture and optimize runtime compute resource;
- Incorporate temporal information into the the existing Zooxs multi-sensor (Vision Lidar and Radar) early fusion system to predict object velocity and scene flow
- Develop effective metrics and evaluating algorithm performance with these metrics to demonstrate improvement.
- Collaborate with teams such as ML Optimization Data Labeling V&V/Metrics and Planner/Prediction to ensure project is successful for Zoox releases
Qualifications
- Masters degree or PhD in computer science or related field
- Experience with Vision Language Model or multi-modal 3D foundation model.
