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. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.  

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 making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people. 

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 Visualization team is responsible for the software used to visually understand the inner workings of autonomous systems. The software that we develop is crucial for the development of our complex distributed systems. Visualization software is used by both developers and analysts to understand, debug and develop every aspect of the system from sensing, to planning to control. As a Visualization developer you will work with individuals and teams across the organization to design and implement user interfaces, 3D graphics, 2D plots and more in several related cross-platform C++ programs.

This internship will be 12 weeks in length.

What you’ll do: 

• Implement new features within an established, specialized Visualization application
• Develop new user interfaces with the ImGui immediate mode UI library
• Develop new 3D visualization with the Magnum graphics library
• Work with autonomy developers to visualize new aspects of the autonomous system
• Work with web developers to expand the capabilities of our browser-based visualization programs

What you’ll need to succeed:

• Pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field.  Must be enrolled in a full time degree program at the time of the internship and for the semester following the internship (Fall 2024)
• 2+ years of experience writing C++ application code or some C++experience coupled with applications developed in similar languages (such as C#, Java or Typescript)
• Experience with a high level game engine such as Unreal or Godot, or experience with low level graphics libraries such as DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, etc.
• Experience with a GUI framework, either from a game engine, operating system, or cross-platform library
• An interest in robots and autonomous systems
• An interest in helping others do their best work

Nice to have (optional):

• Experience building applications or websites that use Javascript
• Experience with Web Assembly or the Emscripten library
• Experience with the ImGui user interface library
• Experience with OpenGL or the Magnum graphics library
