Software Engineering
Foster City, CA, USA
Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2022
The Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is responsible for detecting and reacting to imminent collision situations in support of our vehicle’s overall safety goals. CAS Perception is responsible for processing raw sensor data from our vehicle’s world-class sensor suite using a combination of geometric, interpretable algorithms and deep learning to detect near-collisions with obstacles along our intended driving path, in the most challenging dense urban environments and under tight compute resource constraints. Overall CAS is parallel and complementary to our Main Artificial Intelligence (AI) autonomy stack, and has a close relationship with our vehicle hardware and safety teams in order to architect redundancy into our overall driving system.
The CAS Verification & Validation (CAS V&V) is a multidisciplinary team data, software and systems engineers defining and building metrics to measure the Collision Avoidance System performance and work with the Systems Design and Mission Assurance (SDMA) and QA teams to develop validation plans for the features.

Responsibilities

  • You will apply distributed computing algorithms to efficiently analyze petabytes of urban driving data
  • You will work closely with other CAS engineers to develop metrics and tools for analyzing errors and understanding improvements in our systems
  • You will collaborate with engineers on Perception and Planning to define metrics for the overall Autonomous Driving problem in complex urban environments

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD degree in computer science or related field
  • Fluency in C++ and/or Python
  • Extensive experience with programming and algorithm design

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with analysis of latency for safety critical software systems
  • Experience with petabyte-scale distributed computing (Spark, Databricks, generic MapReduce pipelines)
  • Background in Bayesian statistics
