Bluewhite is building a revolutionary RaaS (Robot-as-a-Service) platform, and on that note, together, we are building a team and looking for a:

AI Applied Researcher

to lead end-to-end research and development of machine learning-based algorithms for off-road autonomous vehicles. Experimenting, designing a solution, leading a POC, implementing the training pipeline, and providing an optimized, production-ready AI-based solution.

Your responsibilities:

• Conduct applied research in multi-modal domains to enhance our autonomous capabilities. Specifically, you will be applying SOTA Machine Learning for tasks of perception, navigation, and planning This multi-modality includes the full sensory stack of our vehicles (lidar, cameras, localization sensors, etc.)
• Implement pipelines to achieve robust production-level models – from simulative and real data preparation, through adapting and modifying existing networks or implementing tailor-made networks or, optimizing learning parameters, and evaluating performance
• Deploy trained models to accelerated inference environments using various optimization and quantization techniques
• Take a meaningful part in designing and implementing our Machine Learning infrastructure, frameworks, and evaluation tools

Your profile:

• MSc/PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering with 3+ years of experience
• Solid background in Machine Learning algorithms in the domain of Computer vision, preferably focused on solving perception problems for autonomous systems
• Proficiency in Python programming, experience working with relevant deep learning and Computer Vision libraries (Pytorch/TensorFlow, SciPy, OpenCV)
• Experience in conversion and optimizing trained models to accelerate inference environments within embedded HW (TensorRT, Jetson, etc.)

Advantages - these will bring you to our front row:

• C++ programming
• Experience with working in Reinforcement learning, working in simulative environments, and dealing with Sim2Real challenges

Our offer:

• We value work-life balance and have flexible working hours
• Lots of team activities and perks: yearly retreats, workshops, hackathons
• A chance to work with a team of experienced engineers committed to continuous learning, with opportunities for growth through knowledge-sharing sessions and webinars
• Work with an international team of world-class engineers
• Modern, sunny, and open working place with a positive and fun atmosphere.
• A stimulating work experience that will allow you to grow both professionally and personally
• Know someone who would be a perfect fit? Let them know and after the successful probation period come and collect a well-deserved referral fee!
