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:
Our Software Engineering Internship gives you an opportunity to work on complex computer science solutions, to develop scalable, distributed software systems, and also collaborate on multitudes of smaller projects that have universal appeal. All of these require research, awareness, interactivity, and the ability to ask the right questions.
This internship will be 12 weeks in length.
What you’ll do:
- A high risk/high reward software development task for the project
- Areas you might work on:
- High level libraries to be used by the autonomy teams like complex data structures
- Optimized vectorized libraries (AVX2/AVX512)
- Port and optimization of algorithms on GPUs
- Inference engines
- Kernel development and drivers
- Linux source based-distributions
- Code health tooling
- Safety critical software
- Software infrastructure improvements
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)
- Excellent C++ programming and software design skills
- Passion for solving challenging, impactful problems
- Excellent communication skills are required given our distributed and diverse team
Note: At this time, Latitude AI is only able to support remote internships in the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, IL, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, TX, VA, WA, WI and Washington DC.
