Job description

Perception Engineer – ML/CV and Algorithms

WeRide.ai Silicon Valley team seeks a Perception Engineer to implement the next generation automotive vision and machine learning algorithms.

What you will do

• Research and develop efficient, end-to-end ML solutions for Perception with sensor fusion, including but not limited to:
• Obstacle detection and understanding (e.g., obstacles’ 3D location, motion properties, and fine-grained attributes)
• Understanding of the drivable space and 3D occupancy
• Map sensing (e.g., lane boundary and topology)
• Scene understanding (traffic light, short/long‑term intent of vehicles, construction zone, etc.)
• Develop efficient and robust onboard system
• Develop efficient offboard loop to allow fast iteration on long‑tail scenarios

Requirements

• Strong abilities in both algorithms and C++ coding; or strong expertise in at least one of these fields: computer vision, machine learning, and model optimization
• Solid skills in problem solving, algorithms, and data analysis
• Good communication and coordination skills
• Self‑motivated and believe in the future of self‑driving cars

Plus

• Rich experience in C++ development, multithreading, memory management, computing optimization
• Rich experience in multi‑sensor fusion and 3d/2d tracking
• Publications on top‑tier conferences and journals

Benefits

Competitive salary between $130,000 - $182,000, with annual performance bonus, equity, and a competitive benefits package.

• Premium Medical, Dental and Vision Plan (no cost from employees or their families)
• Free Daily Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
• Paid vacations and holidays
• 401K plan
