TLDR

Develop BEV-based fusion models that fuse camera, LiDAR, and radar to enable scalable perception for autonomous driving and 3D scene understanding.

We are seeking a highly skilled Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in developing Bird’s Eye View (BEV) fusion models using multimodal sensor inputs, particularly LiDAR. You will play a central role in designing scalable perception algorithms that integrate data from camera, LiDAR, and radar sensors to support autonomous driving and 3D scene understanding. Responsibilities:
  • Design, implement, and optimize BEV-based perception models that fuse camera, LiDAR, and radar inputs.
  • Benchmark perception models using large-scale datasets and well-defined quantitative metrics.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with research, data, and deployment engineers to refine models and support real-world applications.
  • Maintain a strong focus on performance, robustness, and scalability for deployment in production systems.
  • Ensure that your work is performed in accordance with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.
  • Ensure team compliance with QMS, monitor quality, and drive process improvements.
  • Required Skills:
  • Ph.D. or Masters in AI, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Ph.D. new grad or Masters + 3 years industry experience
  • Proficiency in Python and experience building deep learning pipelines.
  • Strong expertise in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Proven experience with LiDAR-based 3D perception and BEV representation models
  • Deep understanding of multimodal sensor fusion architectures and techniques.
  • Familiarity with camera, LiDAR, and radar modalities and their synchronization, calibration, and integration in perception pipelines.
  • Solid foundation in computer vision, deep learning, and 3D geometry.
  • Preferred Skills:
  • Industry or academic experience in autonomous vehicle perception, robotics, or related areas.
  • Hands-on experience developing deep learning models in real-world or production environments.
  • Experience with distributed training, high-performance computing, or GPU acceleration.
  • PlusAI develops AI-based virtual driver software for autonomous trucks, serving leading automotive partners to enhance transportation efficiency and safety. With operations in the U.S. and Europe, PlusAI stands out in the autonomous vehicle space by pushing the boundaries of innovation and collaboration with major industry players.
