EXCEPTIONAL CANDIDATES: For exceptional candidates, we are ready to tailor title and responsibilities based on the candidate's wishes. If your dream career is not on the list, just get in touch with me (andrea@nutonomy.com) and let's see if we can make it a reality.

nutonomyon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2017)

nuTonomy is one of the leading start-ups in the autonomous vehicles area. We have fleets of autonomous cars in Singapore and Boston.

Yes, the first time you will be riding on a self-driving car, it will be a terrifying experience, with the spooky wheel that moves by itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP_lAjIfZwU

The second time, we hope it will feel boring, which means that we achieved our objective to create a comfortable and predictable and overall safe car.

We are growing rapidly, and have many career opportunities. Here you can see a sample: http://nutonomy.com/careers

But really, rather than "filling opening positions", we are looking for excellent candidates that will do exceptional work. When these smart people join, it's them who tell us what they need to do. So I encourage you to get in touch even if no listed position corresponds to your profile.

In particular, there are needs that we have but hard to describe without giving away too much of our secret plans. These involve problems related to programming languages design, automated synthesis of programs, formal methods, etc. Please get in touch if you are a senior person in those areas -- even if you don't see the connection to autonomous vehicles.

Feel free to get in touch with any question (andrea@nutonomy.com).

Please do not send requests regarding internships to me; we have a large intern program, but I only deal with senior & research positions.

nuTonomy | Computer Vision Research Scientist (self-driving cars) | Cambridge (MA), Santa Monica (CA), Singapore | VISA http://nutonomy.com

nuTonomy aims to be the first company in the world to launch an autonomous taxi system, and we are building up an awesome team to make this goal a reality. This includes software for autonomous vehicle navigation in urban environments, smartphone-based ride hailing, fleet routing and management, and controlling a vehicle remotely through teleoperation.

nuTonomy is looking for Computer Vision Research Scientists.

A robust and adaptive perception systems is essential for creating fully autonomous vehicles. We are looking for excellent research scientists in Computer Vision that will focus on researching, developing, and deploying algorithms for extracting semantic information from RGB(D) video streams, including detection, segmentation, tracking and fine-grained classification, with the goal of using this information in a real-time robotic system with high safety requirements.

In this role, you would work closely with experts of other sensor modalities to build a fully-integrated perception system, as well as experts in planning and control to “close the loop” on actual robots. To support your work, you will be able to use a state-of-the-art scalable computing, simulation, and testing environment, which allows a quick transition of your ideas from prototype to vehicles on the road. You will also be expected to mentor junior colleagues. Lastly, you will join an awesome group of motivated colleagues, both industry professionals as well as leading researchers from academia, who like to approach problems with both creativity and rigor, to push beyond the state of the art.

Requirements:

* Ph.D. in Computer Science or related field. * Extensive experience of one or more of the following: - Deep learning applied to images or video data. - Other modern machine learning methods, with a focus on rigorous statistics. - Geometric computer-vision such as SLAM, optical-flow and stereo. * Sensor fusion of RGB and depth. * Excellent analytical, communication, and writing skills. * Experience developing software as part of a team.
