The prediction team analyzes the output generated by the perception team and anticipates what will happen next. Prediction is tightly coupled with the motion planning team.

What you’ll do: 

• Ideal candidates will be experienced software engineers who code algorithms in C++, SSE, CUDA, and/or OpenCL to enable real-time processing of data to improve our self-driving cars’ ability to navigate urban environments 
• Your work will be essential to fielding these vehicles and you will have direct exposure to real world data and feedback, and the satisfaction of having contributed to a state-of-the art autonomous vehicle
• You will have significant cross functional responsibilities between perception and motion planning and participate in discussions and brainstorming

What you'll need to succeed:

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field
• Strong background developing with C++ including the use of templates, multiple-inheritance, and abstract classes
• Significant experience optimizing code to be both compute and memory efficient
• Software system architecture design
• Good communications skills
• Experience in Linux environments is desired
• Knowledgeable in areas pertaining to prediction, such as statistics, machine learning for classification and regression, time series forecasting, and reinforcement learning.

What we offer you:

• High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Competitive compensation packages
• Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting
• Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance

Our Background:

Argo AI was founded in late 2016 by industry experts with extensive experience building robotic systems for commercial applications. Our once-small team has since grown into an over 1,000-person strong company with strategic partnerships with two of the world’s leading automakers: Ford and Volkswagen. Our self-driving system is the first with commercial deployment plans for Europe and the U.S., and thanks to an ability to tap into both automakers’ global reach, our technology platform has the largest geographic deployment potential of any self-driving technology to date. 

At Argo AI, we believe that embracing differences delivers superior results. We are an equal opportunity employer that is committed to an inclusive environment for all employees.
