Software Engineer, Ai/Ml (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning)

For Earth For Life
BASIC PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF POSITION
The Software Engineer, AI/ML will collaborate with a cross-functional team to design, develop, and maintain an industrial-grade perception system for Kubota vehicle autonomy systems utilizing AI/ML techniques where necessary. In addition, the engineer will build up an AI/ML technology stack that can be applied to a wider problem set as the autonomy system is applied across the Kubota machinery line.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES:

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team to develop full vehicle automation and autonomy focusing on system perception requirements.
• Apply AI/ML techniques to develop a fully functional perception stack.
• Drive integration of perception stack into the autonomous system.
• Drive decision making for sensor suite and its integration into the perception stack.
• Collaborate with systems and architecture engineers to ensure alignment with requirements.
• Collaborate with engineers across various teams and locations to brainstorm and accelerate the development of perception and autonomous systems.
• Design and implement algorithms for LiDAR, camera and radar object detection and environment perception.
• Work with vendors to evaluate sensors and API's for integration into the perception system.
• Work with a cross-functional team to design, test, and develop software components written in C, C++ on a proprietary hardware platform running a scheduler, real-time operating system, Linux, and ROS2.
• Work with engineering testing and production teams for software validation/verification.
• Perform tasks as specified by the AI/ML and Software Development Team Lead(s).
• Contribute to the improvement of development systems and processes to ensure efficient and effective work procedures are maintained and improved.
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders on technical or sensitive issues.
• Work comfortably in a fast-paced ambiguous R&D environment
