ML / Data Scientist, Perception

TEAM

We develop human-centered automated driving solutions for personal and commercial use. We develop perception technologies and its production software for the AD/ADAS system. To work towards a reliable and functional system, we are solving complex real-world problems using large-scale data, machine learning algorithms, and a variety of perception technologies.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You will combine modern technologies with safety standards while also considering cost efficiency. You will be an expert in neural networks and software engineering. Also, you have patience to handle the processes required for production development and approach them by asking "What can I do for you?" with a "Giver" mindset.

You appreciate a hybrid workspace and can come to our Nihonbashi office three days per week, joining the team responsible for perception data for ADADAS.
