Applied Research Scientist - Scene Understanding

Description

Our client is a European leader developing software for self-driving vehicles.

They’re a fast growing team unified by our goal to deliver level 5 autonomy, having trialled in a major London project last Autumn 2019, they’re solving interesting and difficult problems to service millions of people daily.

With experienced founders, renowned academic advisors and world-class scientists and engineers, our clients team is at the leading edge in research and in the application of research to the real world.

What will you do

You’ll be responsible for designing and building both supervised and unsupervised learning technologies to parse objects and determine their state as far as it is relevant to driving decisions. States might include object classifications, traffic signal states, orientations, wheel angles and human actions.
