In this role you will:

• You’ll be part of the ML research team tasked with establishing best practices on creating and using synthetic data for perception.
• You’ll develop perception algorithms, data pipelines, introspection tools, domain gap measures and domain adaptation approaches.
• You’ll summarize your findings to help guide our team as well as our customers.
• You’ll sync with your team on a daily basis to discuss progress, ideas and problems.
• You’ll work with veterans from the gaming, movie and automotive industry.

What You’ll Own:

• Creating specific datasets for your experiments.
• Adapting/implementing cutting-edge models and data pipelines.
• Maintaining and optimizing our code base to enable fast experimentation.
