Location : Belmont, CA (Hybrid Remote)

Type : Full Time

Role Summary

This role will be tasked with applying machine learning / deep learning to the automotive industry. Applications could include autonomous driving, manufacturing, design etc. This is more than a purely academic role – you will likely need to integrate the modules you build into real cars and also think about questions around testability and proving safety. Working in our facility requires a high level of independence and an ability to deal with lots of ambiguity. The incumbent will not be given clear cut projects – instead this individual and subsequent team will be responsible for coming up with the “next big thing” that nobody has thought of as yet, building it and selling it.

Role Responsibilities

Machine Learning Development

• Maintains, as well as furthers, enhances existing machine learning modules for autonomous vehicles.
• Designs and implements new machine learning based approaches based on existing frameworks.
• Keeps up to speed with the state of the art of academic research and technology in the industry.
• Coordinates with engineers at the ICC and in Germany on the development of autonomous driving software.
• Transfers technologies and solutions to Volkswagen Group development divisions.
