Job description

BlueSpace.ai is revolutionizing the autonomous vehicle industry with our groundbreaking self-driving technology. Unlike conventional autonomy software, our patented 4D Predictive Perception removes reliance on data. By leveraging next-gen 4D sensors, we can precisely predict the motion of all objects, increasing accuracy, lowering latency, and setting a new standard for safety and efficiency in autonomy.

Our team consists of seasoned professionals from across the autonomous vehicle (AV) ecosystem, including OEMs, world-class research institutions, and leading autonomous driving companies. With a proven track record of successful AV service launches in California, Texas, and Florida, we are well-positioned to drive the next generation of autonomy.

We are seeking talented, self-motivated individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and are passionate about making a significant impact on the future of mobility. If you’re driven to tackle the most complex challenges in autonomy and push the boundaries of what is possible, we want to hear from you.

Duties and Responsibilities

Develop, deploy, and scale both online and offline state-estimation algorithms for real-world robotic systems.
Build software, tools, and processes that accelerate your rate of experimentation, monitor performance, and inform you what to try next.
Work with large quantities of sensor data on challenging real-world problems.
Collaborate with the team to deploy your work in a mission-critical environment.

Qualifications and Experience

5+ Years of industry experience and a Master's/Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
