Work on perception algorithms for tracking and classification, integrating ML models into a vehicle stack, and optimizing performance in latency-sensitive systems.
The Perception Object Detection and Tracking team at Zoox deals with perception of all people and objects that have a capability to move. Your role is to work with the ML model teams to bring cutting-edge models into the vehicle stack.
In this role, you will have access to the best sensor data in the world and an incredible infrastructure for testing and validating your algorithms. We are creating new algorithms for segmentation, tracking, classification, and high-level scene understanding, and you could work on any (or all!) of these components.
In this role, you will...
- Define on-vehicle architecture for producing the core tracking results from the Perception stack.
- Work with both the model teams and optimization teams to develop a highly performant and efficient system that can run on vehicle.
- Work with Perception data, both on the input and output of machine learned models
- Take tracking output and integrate this into the larger behavioral system in the Autonomy stack
Qualifications
- BS or higher in Computer Science or a related degree
- Fluency in C++ and Python, and CUDA code
- Experience delivering ML model integration in latency-sensitive systems
- Strong mathematical skills and understanding of probabilistic techniques
Bonus Qualifications
- Familiarity with modern, Sparse-BEV Joint Detection and Tracking models
- Have experience implementing tracking systems
- Contribute to the ongoing development of new architecture based on new, state of the art ML research
- Investigate, prototype and train / evaluate networks for solving causal / recursive multi-target multi-modal tracking problem

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
