TokyoFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Senior Software Engineer on the Perception team building the perception system for L4 autonomous trucks operating at highway speeds, combining multi-modal deep learning with classical perception, and owning end-to-end development from model training to onboard deployment and on-road validation.
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and deploy deep learning models for 3D object detection across LiDAR, camera, and radar sensors.
- Build multi-sensor fusion architectures that combine independent detection and classification streams.
- Characterize perception failure modes, build targeted evaluation sets, and hill-climb system-level metrics.
- Build and operate the data engine: shadow-mode comparison against production, automated data mining, and retraining loops.
- Contribute to camera- and LiDAR-based localization perception under degraded conditions.
- Take your work through the full safety validation pipeline before it operates on public roads.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in ML-based perception, computer vision, or robotics.
- Strong proficiency in Python and C++.
- Hands-on experience training and deploying deep learning models in production (e.g., PyTorch).
- Solid grounding in classical perception: multi-object tracking, state estimation, and 3D geometry.
