About the job
Latitude AI, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, is developing an in-house autonomous driving platform, the Ford Fathom, set to debut in 2027. The Unified Model development team focuses on creating advanced computer vision and machine learning models for tasks like 3D object detection, lane line detection, and state estimation. These models generate representations of static and dynamic actors, crucial for downstream autonomy systems such as motion planning and prediction. The team's goal is to transition these compute-efficient, multi-view, multi-sensor deep learning models from research to production-grade, onboard vision systems for vehicles, ensuring real-time reasoning about the world.
Responsibilities
- Develop spatio-temporal machine learning models for detection, multi-sensor fusion, and segmentation.
- Research literature, analyze data, and design state-of-the-art solutions.
- Transition solutions from lab to production-level implementation on test tracks and public roads.
- Collaborate with perception experts and roboticists on algorithm design, prototyping, testing, deployment, and productization.
- Build and maintain industry-leading software practices and principles.
- Develop clean and efficient software for perception modules that interface with other key modules.
- Demonstrate initiative and contribute as a valued team member in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, plus 7 years of industry experience.
- Expert-level knowledge and experience in machine learning, with a proven track record of developing and deploying deep learning solutions using PyTorch, Tensorflow, or similar frameworks.
- Experience in developing perception systems using sensors such as Camera, Radar, and LiDAR.
- Strong experience in computer vision, perception, and point cloud processing.
- Proven experience in shipping computer vision software products to industry or consumers.
- At least 5 years of development experience in Python/C++ environments.
