Senior Software Engineer - Prediction

Latitude AI (lat.ai) is building the future of Ford’s autonomy roadmap to make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone. Bringing this vision to scale, our fully in-house developed hands-free ADAS platform will debut on the all-new Ford Fathom in 2027. When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to redefining the relationship between people and their vehicles for millions of customers. As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif. Meet the team: The Latitude AI Autonomy Behavior team is responsible for designing and building systems that allow an autonomous vehicle to understand the current scene around it, predict how the scene will evolve in the future and make decisions on how to respond. The team focuses on deploying SOTA algorithms in limited compute environments, and writing efficient software architectures that take advantage of hardware optimizations. You will play a key role in improving the quality and safety of the autonomy system through the optimization and integ [... source excerpt omitted ...] ferent teams to jointly achieve objectives in improving system performance Monitor system performance and ensure designs and implementation stay within resource constraints What you'll need to succeed: 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, or PhD) Fluency in modern C++ including good software design skills and experience with Python Familiarity with PyTorch, ONNX and deployment/optimization of models is desired Knowledgeable in areas pertaining to probabilistic inference, probability theory, statistics App [... source excerpt omitted ...] Learning in classification, regression, time series forecasting Willingness to dive into anything, but know when to ask for cross team collaboration Industry experience writing production-quality, performance-critical code, and maintaining large codebases is desired Strong written and verbal communication skills are required What we offer you: Competitive compensation packages High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance Health savings account with available employer match Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance Paid parental leave
