Summary
Sr/Staff AI Engineer #2589
Position Summary:
Our partner is a technology company transforming traditional vehicles into autonomous systems for defense and industrial environments, and they are seeking a Sr/Staff AI Engineer to build the perception intelligence that makes those systems reliable outside controlled conditions. Your focus will center on developing multi-view computer vision and 3D perception systems that allow autonomous vehicles to understand complex environments. This role requires direct ownership of perception components from problem definition through deployment, not participation in isolated research or model experimentation. You will design, train, and deploy perception models that operate under noisy sensing, real-time constraints, and safety-critical conditions, working closely with robotics, autonomy, and systems teams to deliver capabilities that hold up in production.
Experience and Education:
