Description

Who we are:

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle mile logistics, delivers goods safely and efficiently using its fleet of light & medium-duty trucks. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 customers including Kroger, Walmart, Tyson Foods, Loblaw, Pitney Bowes, Georgia-Pacific, and KBX; enabling them to optimize their hub-and-spoke supply chain operations, enhance service levels and product flow across multiple locations while reducing labor costs and meeting an unprecedented expectation for faster deliveries. Gatik’s Class 3-7 autonomous box trucks are commercially deployed in multiple markets including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada.

About the role:

We're currently looking for an experienced Technical Lead with specialized skills in Behavior, especially trajectory prediction, planning, and selection. You will play a vital role in developing ML models that accurately predict the behavior of surrounding agents and plan and select optimal trajectories for our AVs. In this pivotal role, you'll be instrumental in designing, implementing, and deploying the ML algorithms that enable our trucks to safely navigate and operate in complex, dynamic environments both on-vehicle and within simulation environments for validation. This position requires a strong technical and ML background, hands-on software engineering experience, and a knack for technically lead engineers. You will collaborate with a team of experts in AI Research, robotics, and software engineering to push the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous trucking.

What you'll do:

  • Develop and / or adjust existing state-of-the-art algorithms to advance / complement research in agent behavior prediction in interactive scenes in real-time
  • Work on marginal, conditional, and joint prediction 
  • Develop combined prediction and planning models using trending machine learning approaches
  • Work with large-scale datasets collected from sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar to extract relevant features and preprocess data for model training
  • Develop robust testing and validation frameworks to ensure the reliability and safety of the behavior systems across diverse scenarios and edge cases
  • Conduct thorough validation and testing of ML models in simulation and real-world environments to ensure robust performance and generalization
  • Analyze model performance and identify areas for improvement, iterating on design and implementation to enhance prediction accuracy and reliability
  • Document model architectures, methodologies, and results clearly and concisely
  • Collaborate closely with the Data Engineering and AI Research teams to define project requirements, formulate innovative concepts, and co-design ML models and be responsible for their effective deployment in a real-world trucking environment
  • Participate in hiring process for and manage the top notch ML Behavior engineers

What we're looking for:

  • Ph.D. or highly qualified M.S. candidate in one or more of the following areas: Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, or a related field
  • You have at least 1-3 years of hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas: Autonomous Driving (preferable), Robotics, or Deep Learning in general 
  • You have at least 1-3 years of research experience in one or more of the following areas: Behavior Prediction (preferable), Planning, Reinforcement Learning, Statistics, Probability theory 
  • You have at least 1 year of technical leadership experience inside an industrial setting 
  • Experience in data science including data collection, analysis, hypothesis formulation and verification
  • Deep knowledge of Autonomous Driving Behavior including
    • Prediction vs Planning
    • Marginal vs Conditional vs Joint
    • Open vs Closed loop
    • Imitation and Reinforcement Learning approaches
    • Application of Diffusion
  • Strong foundation in data structures, algorithm design, and complexity analysis
  • Experience with latency analysis and optimization of safety critical software systems
  • Expertise in programming languages and tools critical for high-performance computing in Python/C++ including large-scale data processing, parallel programming, code optimization and machine learning including Deep Learning frameworks like TensorFlow/PyTorch 
  • Demonstrated ability to publish research findings in any of the top-tier technical journals and conferences (ICRA, CoRL, IROS, NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, ICML, etc.)
  • Experience with simulation environments for autonomous vehicles, such as CARLA, Waymax, or similar platforms, is a plus
  • You are passionate about Autonomous Driving!
