About Stack

At Stack, we are focused on AI advancements across diverse technical domains, transforming how AI is applied in the physical realm. Our solutions are designed to navigate and understand the world with unprecedented safety, reliability, and efficiency, transforming how modern industries operate. Our decades of expertise spans diverse AI applications reflecting our commitment to exploring new frontiers and delivering excellence in AI technology.

Internship Program

Stack is revolutionizing transportation through AI and is seeking the best and brightest interns to help us realize this vision! As an early-stage start up, we expect our interns to be an integral part of the team, working on research projects that directly impact our product. Along the way, you’ll be provided with opportunities for collaboration and mentorship with industry leaders to accelerate your career and research goals. 

We welcome students who are enrolled in university, pursuing a doctorate degree and are currently located in the United States. Summer internships are typically 12 weeks in duration (note: we may be flexible for internships to start in the spring semester or continue into the fall semester).

We offer competitive pay and support sponsorship.

About the Team

The Autonomy Evaluation Team is a group of specialized engineers dedicated to developing simulation tools and metrics pipelines. The simulation tools include log-based simulation and synthetic simulation, which simulates sensors and intermediate values such as nearby actors, map data and vehicle state. Our metrics pipelines evaluate the results of simulations as well as vehicle logs, enabling data mining, performance evaluation and identification of critical errors.

The Decision Making ML Development Team develops and evaluates state of the art ML models for prediction, planning and trajectory selection. We collaborate closely with the Data Platform and ML Infrastructure teams to ensure proper tooling to develop these models. Additionally, we coordinate with integration teams to deploy the models onto the vehicle once proven out with log sets and extensive simulation.

Research Areas 

The project work will be scoped specifically based on your skill set and the research needs of the team, but project areas could include…

  • Example project #1: Optimized Traffic/Actor Generation (Sim / ML Team)- Work with adjacent systems and safety teams to understand the operating environment for an AV and develop scenarios with generated actors to fully cover the possible AV-actor interactions.  Actors may include vehicles, static objects and VRUs.
  • Example project #2: Sensor Simulation - Novel View Generation (Sim / ML)- Develop methods to work with sensor data from logs to generate novel views that can be used to output altered sensor data from nearby but previously untraveled vehicle positions.
  • Example project #3: Sensor Simulation - Sensors From Scene Data (Sim)- Develop methods to utilize intermediate system outputs such as mapping information, lane lines, actor information and obstacle information to generate corresponding synthetic sensor data such as camera imagery and LIDAR points.

In order to be considered for this team, we strongly encourage students to have the following skills and experiences…

  • Python and C++ programming languages
  • Simulation tooling execution and development
  • Machine learning / Reinforcement learning experience
  • Sensor generation and transformation experience (camera, LIDAR)
  • Cross functional communication skills
  • Software engineering best practices
  • Test driven development experience

We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We believe that diverse teams produce the best ideas and outcomes. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion, entrepreneurship, and innovation across gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
