=========================================================================
TEAMOur team builds human-centered automated driving solutions for personal and commercial use, and turns state-of-the-art perception & prediction technology into production-ready AD/ADAS systems deployed to millions of vehicles. To accomplish our goals we are solving complex real-world problems using petabyte-scale sensor data and a huge variety of computer vision and deep learning techniques.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?You combine your knowledge of modern machine learning and computer vision with a strong consideration for safety and cost efficiency. You aspire to be an expert in the field of neural networks, multi-view geometry and general software engineering. Also, you bring patience and a deeper understanding of Toyota’s mass production processes by asking “What can I do for you?” with a “Giver” mindset. As an intern, you will get to know our perception & prediction  stack, and will report to one of our tech leads.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Train neural networks for autonomous driving tasks, such as object and road detection, semantic segmentation, occupancy estimation, keypoint detection & tracking, SLAM, etc.
• Build cloud workflows that connect your ML model with data curation and evaluation pipelines
• Participate in the complete ML life cycle: develop a new task or neural architecture, optimize it for execution on our in-vehicle compute platform, deploy it to a development build, work with peer engineering teams to integrate it into the full stack, and validate its safety with our Quality Assurance team.
• Stay up-to-date with advances in computer vision and machine learning, particularly in the areas of detection & tracking, temporal models, SLAM, neural radiance fields (NeRF) etc.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or similar
• Good knowledge of Python and Pytorch. Knowledge in C++ is a bonus!
• Experience with computer vision (especially multi-view geometry) and deep learning (layer details, loss functions, optimization)
• Experience with data libraries including jupyter, numpy, scipy, pandas,  scikit-learn, matplotlib, etc.
• Good proficiency in English

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience with SIMD/SIMT parallelism, GPU programming, multithreaded programming
• Experience with other typical autonomy sensors, such as Lidar, Radar, IMUs, etc.
• Experience in optimizing deep-learning models towards specific hardware targets
• Experience with AWS services
• Good proficiency in Japanese

All interviews will be arranged via Google Meet, unless otherwise stated.
