- Build automated data mining pipelines, active learning loops, hard-example curation and auto-labeling systems
- Develop high-resolution vision architectures and spatial-temporal transformer backbones
- Use multimodal foundation models for data curation, synthetic edge-case generation and failure triage
- Profile and optimize models for efficient inference on onboard accelerators
Requirements
- 2–5+ years training and deploying production vision or multi-modal deep learning models
- Experience with sensor fusion across camera, LiDAR and audio
- Experience with multi-task learning, transformer architectures and PyTorch or JAX
- Experience building large-scale data curation pipelines, active learning loops and auto-labeling systems
- Fluency with modern AI developer tools and foundation model workflows
