Responsibilities
Lead a team of experts to develop and deploy critical autonomy functionality including multi-object tracking and road property estimation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate state-of-the-art ML models into production-grade perception systems.
Requirements
Requires a degree in a relevant engineering field with 5 to 10+ years of experience depending on the degree level. Candidates must have significant experience in computer vision, machine learning, and shipping production-grade perception systems.
Full job description
Latitude AI (lat.ai) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.
When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.
As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.
Meet the team:
The State Estimation team is responsible for multi-object tracking and scene estimation, in both a classical physics-informed and modern ML sense. Collaborating with other ML teams, systems engineering, and product management, State Estimation builds advanced models that blend the best of the research literature with the needs of industry to estimate long-duration characteristics (e.g. kinematics, shape, etc) of both actors and road features. State Estimation is the interface of the perception system to various downstream autonomy consumers including motion planning, prediction, and localization. The team takes these algorithms and models from the lab to the road, and directly powers production grade perception systems on our vehicles.
What you’ll do:
Lead a team of experts to deliver critical functionality for the next generation of autonomy systems at Ford. This functionality includes (but is not limited to) multi-object tracking, estimation of the road properties (such as lane markings, road shape, topology, etc) over time, and pre-collision assist / automatic emergency braking
Stay current with literature, analyze current system performance, and design state of the art solutions with the team for the above goals. Develop ML models in both a modular and E2E framework
Collaborate with expert roboticists and ML engineers and scientists to integrate and deploy State Estimation solutions into production. Analyze failures and collaborate with systems engineering to develop verification and validation cases, and take ideas from concept into mass production
Participate as a senior leader in next-generation autonomy development towards the Ford Large Driving Model
What you'll need to succeed:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 10+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree and 8+ years of relevant experience, or PhD and 5+ years of relevant experience
Experience developing and shipping learned multi-object tracking systems
Experience with classical state estimation methods, such as Kalman filters (and varieties thereof), particle filters, etc
Significant experience with Python and/or C++
Significant experience in computer vision, perception, and machine learning
Proven track record of shipping machine learning-based solutions to computer vision problems using PyTorch or similar (TensorFlow, JAX, etc)
Nice to have:
Ph.D. with focus on machine learning, or equivalent experience
Track record of shipping end to end computer vision systems
What we offer you:
Competitive compensation packages
High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance
Health savings account with available employer match
Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting
Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance
Paid parental leave
Paid medical leave
Unlimited vacation
15 paid holidays
Daily lunches, snacks, and beverages available in all office locations
Pre-tax spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care expenses
Pre-tax commuter benefits
Monthly wellness stipend
Adoption/Surrogacy support program
Backup child and elder care program
Professional development reimbursement
Employee assistance program
Discounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more
Company and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiatives
