You will work collaboratively to improve our models and iterate on novel research directions, sometimes in just days. We're looking for talented engineers who'd enjoy applying their skills to deeply complex and novel AI problems. Here, you will:

  • Apply and extend the Helm proprietary algorithmic toolkit for unsupervised learning and perception problems at scale

  • Carefully execute development and maintenance of tools used for deep learning experiments designed to provide new functionality for customers or address relevant corner cases in the system as a whole

  • Work closely with software and autonomous vehicle engineers to deploy algorithms on internal and customer vehicle platforms

You have:

  • A sense of practical optimism: not all experiments are successful, but the ones that are more than make up for it!

  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment to deliver customer projects

  • Introspection, thoughtfulness, and detail-orientation

  • Experience working with neural networks, Tensorflow and/or PyTorch

  • Fluency in Python and working knowledge of C/C++ programing

  • A strong interest in unsupervised learning, computer vision, and/or the autonomous vehicle industry

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in a related field and/or 5+ years of experience in a related field

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
