Requirements
  • Strong experience with machine learning, particularly in the context of behavior prediction for autonomous driving.
  • Familiarity with machine learning models such as LSTM, Transformer, and other relevant architectures.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and C++.
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Familiarity with large-scale data processing and cloud computing platforms.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Responsibilities
  • Develop key modules of the behavior prediction system, focusing on accurately predicting the movements and actions of surrounding objects to enhance the decision-making capabilities of our autonomous vehicles.
  • Create and maintain robust software infrastructure that enables the use of large-scale image and LiDAR data for learning algorithms, ensuring seamless integration and high performance.
  • Design and write highly optimized pipelines for data pre-processing, model training, data post-processing, and inference, ensuring efficiency and scalability.
  • Train advanced behavior prediction models, including LSTM, Transformer, and other relevant machine learning models. Evaluate their performance rigorously, identify and fix performance bottlenecks to achieve state-of-the-art results.
  • Create scalable training and evaluation tools and infrastructure to support continuous improvement and rapid iteration of behavior prediction models.
  • Work closely with other engineers to integrate behavior prediction systems into the broader autonomous driving stack and conduct comprehensive system tests to ensure reliability and safety.

Gatik AI specializes in autonomous transportation for business-to-business (B2B) logistics, focusing on the middle mile, which is the delivery of goods from distribution centers to retail locations. Their Gatik Carrier™ uses Level 4 autonomous technology to transport freight safely in both highway and urban environments, operating on known short-haul routes to enhance safety and efficiency. Gatik's Autonomous Transportation as a Service (ATaaS) model integrates into clients' supply chains, helping to lower costs and improve sustainability. The company's goal is to optimize supply chain efficiency for major clients like Tyson Foods and Kroger while ensuring safe operations in collaboration with various stakeholders.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Partnerships with major companies like Tyson Foods and Kroger validate Gatik's technology and market potential.
  • The $30 million investment from Isuzu and the development of a new truck chassis for mass production by 2027 indicate strong future growth and technological advancements.
  • Gatik's focus on safety and collaboration with government and local communities enhances its reputation and operational reliability.

What critics are saying

  • The autonomous vehicle sector is highly competitive, with significant investments going to other players like Wayve and Motional, which could overshadow Gatik.
  • The long timeline for mass production (targeted for 2027) may delay revenue realization and market penetration.

What makes Gatik AI unique

  • Gatik focuses exclusively on the 'middle mile' of logistics, a niche often overlooked by competitors who target either last-mile or long-haul routes.
  • Their Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, is designed for both highway and urban environments, offering versatility that many competitors lack.
  • The company's ATaaS model allows for rapid scaling and integration into existing supply chains, providing a unique value proposition in terms of cost-efficiency and sustainability.
