Staff ML Engineer specializing in BEV and Multi-Modal Perception at Torc Robotics. Leading development of next-gen models for rich spatial understanding in autonomous trucks.
Responsibilities
Lead BEV model development: Define and execute the technical roadmap for BEV-based perception models across multiple tasks (e.g., detection, segmentation, road topology, and scene understanding).
Design advanced multi-modal architectures that fuse heterogeneous sensor data (camera, LiDAR, radar, HD maps) into unified spatial representations.
Develop foundational perception models leveraging BEV transformers, voxel-based encoders, or implicit scene representations.
Own large-scale training workflows — from data sampling strategies and augmentation pipelines to distributed training and hyperparameter optimization.
Advance model robustness and generalization, addressing long-tail conditions such as low visibility, occlusions, and rare scene configurations.
Establish evaluation frameworks for geometric accuracy, temporal stability, and cross-domain transfer performance.
Collaborate cross-functionally with sensor calibration, mapping, and fusion teams to ensure cohesive perception model interfaces.
Mentor and guide ML engineers, cultivating best practices in experimentation, code quality, and model validation.
Stay at the forefront of ML research, exploring self-supervised learning, large-scale pretraining, or foundation models for 3D perception.
Requirements
10+ years of experience in deep learning for perception, 3D vision, and/or autonomous systems
M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Proven expertise in BEV modeling, 3D scene understanding, and multi-view fusion.
Strong background in multi-modal sensor fusion, particularly integrating camera and LiDAR data.
Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Experience with large-scale data pipelines, distributed training, and experiment management systems.
Demonstrated leadership in driving ML model innovation and mentoring technical teams.
