We’re looking for top talent that shares our passion and wants to be part of a fast-moving and highly execution-oriented team.

Job Summary

Zoox is looking for a software engineer to join our Perception team and help us build novel architectures for classifying and understanding the complex and dynamic environments in our cities. In this role, you will have access to the best sensor data in the world and an incredible infrastructure for testing and validating your algorithms. We are creating new algorithms for segmentation, tracking, classification, and high-level scene understanding, and you could work on any (or all!) of these components.

Key Responsibilities

• Build perception pipelines that work with real data in rapidly changing and uncertain environments.
• Develop algorithms for segmentation, tracking, classification, and high-level scene understanding.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in computer science or related field.
• Fluency in C++.
• Experience with modern computer vision techniques.
• Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design.
• Demonstrated ability to create functional realtime systems that solve difficult perception tasks.
• Experience handling large data sets efficiently.
• Strong mathematical skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques.

Preferred Qualifications

• Publications in your field (CVPR, ICCV, RSS, ICRA preferred).
• Experience with autonomous robots.
• Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. LiDAR, camera, radar).
• Experience with novel pipelines and architectures for convolutional neural nets.
• Experience with 3D data and representations (pointclouds, meshes, etc.).
