    Your role in the team

    • As an Expert Perception Data Engineer, you scale the data workflows that power the next generation of off-road autonomy systems. You own the full data lifecycle from ingestion and curation to automated scenario mining, dataset generation, embeddings-based retrieval, and validation workflows.
    • In this hands-on engineering role, your designs and implementations have a critical impact on enabling the robust and safe performance of our software in challenging off-road conditions.
    • Your main tasks are:
    • Designing and scaling large-scale perception data pipelines for terabytes of incoming multimodal sensor data.
    • Developing automated dataset curation and scenario mining systems for edge cases and safety-critical situations.
    • Building embeddings-based retrieval and semantic search pipelines for perception data selection and analysis.
    • Maintain tooling for dataset versioning, metadata management, annotation orchestration, and quality assurance to meet certification requirements.
    • Improving infrastructure for high-throughput data processing, cloud-native workflows, and distributed compute pipelines.
    • Driving automation around data operations, labeling processes, and deployment feedback loops from field operations.
