Perception Architect designing sensory systems for next-generation autonomous products. Evolving perception architecture, liaising between sensing teams and core ML systems.
Responsibilities
Define the end-to-end perception architecture—assess new sensing (LiDAR, Radar, Camera) to the final fused world model.
Partner with Compute and Sensing teams to influence the design, ensuring our algorithms have the "computational oxygen" they need.
Lead the transition from current pipelines to **AI innovation pipelines, **while maintaining the safety and interpretability required for edge deployment.
Evaluate emerging technologies and determine their viability for the 3-5 year roadmap.
Collaborate on rigorous metrics for latency and accuracy across diverse edge-computing environments.
Lead cross functional teams to create a viable plan to move to new platforms and unlock further technical capabilities for Perception systems. Coordinate projects across partner teams to make sure work is aligned with the overall org direction.
Requirements
**Education:** Ph.D. or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on **Computer Vision**.
**Experience:** 8+ years in autonomous systems with at least 2 years in an **architectural role**, shipping and evolving perception systems
