Senior Software Engineer - Machine Learning - Multi-Object Tracking

Latitude AI (lat.ai) is an automated driving technology company developing a hands‑free, eyes‑off driver‑assist system for next‑generation Ford vehicles at scale.

The State Estimation team specializes in cutting‑edge multi‑object tracking, scene estimation, and machine learning technology, collaborating to create advanced models that can temporally track both static and dynamic actors as well as estimate road features. The team is the interface of the perception system to various downstream autonomy consumers including motion planning, prediction, and localization, with a focus on developing compute‑efficient models that can be optimized for onboard performance and used as production‑grade perception systems on vehicles.

• Develop spatio‑temporal machine‑learning models for multi‑object tracking and uncertainty estimation.
• Develop machine‑learning models to estimate road features, lane markings, road shape and road topology.
• Read literature, analyze raw data, and design state‑of‑the‑art solutions.
• Transition solutions from the lab to the test track and public roads to ensure successful production‑level implementation.
• Collaborate with perception experts and experienced roboticists on algorithm design, prototyping, testing, deployment, and productization.
• Build and maintain industry‑leading software practices and principles.
• Develop clean and efficient software for perception modules interfacing with other key modules.
• Show initiative and be a valued team member in a fast‑paced, innovative, and entrepreneurial environment.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience (or Master’s degree and 2+ years of relevant experience).
