Evaluate and implement state-of-the-art methods in object detection, tracking, point cloud processing, sensor fusion, planning & prediction
Synthesize complex technical findings into actionable reviews, engineering reports and tasks

Algorithm & Model Development

Design and adapt algorithms and machine learning models for autonomy challenges
Develop proof-of-concept implementations and support dev teams in transitioning prototypes into production-ready C++ code

Validation & Experimentation

Design experiments and data-driven methods to validate and benchmark autonomy models and systems
Analyze results, draw conclusions, and document findings in clear technical or scientific-style reports

What we're looking for

MSc or PhD (or ongoing PhD) in Computer Science, Robotics, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
Background in mathematical modelling, optimization, and data analysis
Experience with C++ and motivation to deepen your expertise
Proficiency in at least one prototyping language (Python, Julia, etc.)
Comfortable working with Linux, and familiar with modern software development tools (git, Docker, etc.)
Self-driven, curious, and collaborative mindset
Fluent English and strong communication skills

Bonus points for

Experience in robotics and distributed systems (sensors, radar, ROS, message queues)
Deep understanding of optimization (trajectory, mathematical, or algorithmic)
Hands-on ML expertise training, designing, or tuning deep learning models
Experience with simulation and experimentation frameworks (e.g., Gazebo, CARLA, Isaac Sim)
