About Stack:

Stack is developing revolutionary AI and advanced autonomous systems designed to enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency of modern operations. Stack’s autonomous technology incorporates cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and cloud technologies, empowering us to create innovative solutions that address the needs and challenges of the dynamic trucking transportation industry. With decades of experience creating and deploying real world systems for demanding environments, the Stack team is dedicated to developing an autonomous solution ecosystem tailored to the trucking industry’s unique demands.

About the Role:

The Autonomy Evaluation team is responsible for measuring the performance of the self-driving system. This team develops evaluation methods, metrics pipelines and tooling that will be used directly to drive development priorities, system architecture and inform operational domain decisions. The goal is to provide a reliable, highly differentiable signal for the product development team to optimize and use to deliver the best possible product. The team will work to provide a holistic view of the overall autonomy performance.

Responsibilities:

Help set the technical direction for the team and work cross-functionally to align stakeholders and customer teams with strong presentation and communication skills.
Stay up to date on the latest research literature for measuring autonomous vehicle performance and incorporate state of the art approaches into the team’s roadmap.
Identify the limitations of existing autonomy performance indicators and develop novel methods to push through local minima.
Understand the inner workings of the various autonomy components (localization, perception, prediction, planning, controls, etc.) and help develop a cohesive strategy for measuring and progressing the self-driving system.
Work closely with each of those teams to help design and develop metrics.
Improve and maintain a cohesive metrics pipeline that works across all autonomy teams.
Work closely with systems engineers to ensure a safe, well tested product is delivered.
Identify bottlenecks and developer pain points and optimize workflows to help create the most efficient autonomy development experience in the industry.
Write software to run offline simulations, compute autonomy performance measures and aggregate/visualize results.

Qualifications:

Past technical leadership experience; designing, developing and leading multiple projects to completion.
Strong experience in software engineering and algorithm design.
Fluent in Python.
Solid experience with SQL and C++.
