Mountain View, CA$193.9k - $291.2kPosted 6mo ago
About the role
Senior Perception ML Data Infrastructure Engineer responsible for the core native perception data platform, bridging autonomous vehicle hardware, labeling operations, and ML models with a focus on high-performance data pipelines, 3D data processing, and robust validation.
Responsibilities
- Build high-performance C++ systems that render and manipulate massive multi-modal sensor data (lidar, camera, radar) interactively. Think real-time 3D and dense point clouds.
- Push the limits of 3D rendering and processing for high-density lidar inside interactive tooling.
- Design the ingestion and pipelines that move sensor data from the vehicle to the offboard tools engineers and labelers work in.
- Build the validation layers that catch calibration errors, timing/synchronization failures, and bad labels before they ever reach a model.
- Own the visualization and annotation platform that powers our labeling and ground-truth data engine, and define the clean API boundaries between it and the broader ML data and ground-truth systems.
- Technical ownership of our ML data that labeling teams build on top of.
Qualifications
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related quantitative field.
- 4+ years of industry software engineering experience.
- Fluency in C++ and strong familiarity with Python.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical projects in ambiguous settings.
- Deep practical experience in building robust, high-performance software systems or infrastructure.
- Bonus: Robotics expertise (robotics software stacks, sensor parsing, coordinate frames, pipeline propagation).
- Bonus: Familiarity with 3D graphics/rendering (WebGL, OpenGL), point cloud processing, or autonomous driving sensor data.
