• 3D Reconstruction: Develop and improve 3D reconstruction algorithms to create high-precision 3D environmental models from various sensor data sources.
• World Model: Create and maintain the vehicle's world model by integrating sensor data to enhance the end-to-end simulation capabilities of autonomous driving.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams including perception, control, and software engineering to drive project progress.
• Performance Analysis and Optimization: Conduct performance analysis and optimization of algorithms to ensure high efficiency and reliability in real-world applications.
• Research and Innovation: Keep abreast of the latest research and technological developments in the field, continuously improving and innovating our systems.

Requirements:

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of relevant experience, particularly in autonomous driving, robotics, or related model development fields.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and Python, with strong capabilities in algorithm design and implementation.
• In-depth understanding and practical experience in path planning, 3D reconstruction, and environmental modeling.
• Familiarity with deep learning, reinforcement learning, and other machine learning techniques, and the ability to apply them to real-world problems.
• Strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, capable of performing complex algorithm analysis and optimization.
• Team-oriented with excellent communication skills, able to work effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds.
• Innovative mindset, capable of proactively proposing new solutions and improvements.

Plus:

• Publications in top-tier academic conferences or journals in related fields.
• Experience with frameworks such as ROS, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Practical project experience or participation in autonomous driving competitions.
