Torc is looking to develop software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight, and this role is focused on leading the development of next-generation models that unify information across cameras, LiDAR, and radar to deliver a rich spatial understanding of the driving environment.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in deep learning for perception, 3D vision, and/or autonomous systems
- Proven expertise in BEV modeling, 3D scene understanding, and multi-view fusion.
- Strong background in multi-modal sensor fusion, particularly integrating camera and LiDAR data.
- Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Experience with large-scale data pipelines, distributed training, and experiment management systems.
- Demonstrated leadership in driving ML model innovation and mentoring technical teams.
- Experience with MLOps and infrastructure tools (Ray)
Responsibilities
- Lead BEV model development: Define and execute the technical roadmap for BEV-based perception models across multiple tasks (e.g., detection, segmentation, road topology, and scene understanding).
- Design advanced multi-modal architectures that fuse heterogeneous sensor data (camera, LiDAR, radar, HD maps) into unified spatial representations.
- Develop foundational perception models leveraging BEV transformers, voxel-based encoders, or implicit scene representations.
- Own large-scale training workflows — from data sampling strategies and augmentation pipelines to distributed training and hyperparameter optimization.
- Advance model robustness and generalization, addressing long-tail conditions such as low visibility, occlusions, and rare scene configurations.
- Establish evaluation frameworks for geometric accuracy, temporal stability, and cross-domain transfer performance.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with sensor calibration, mapping, and fusion teams to ensure cohesive perception model interfaces.
Other
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees
- 401K plan with a 6% employer match
- Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date)
- Company-wide holiday office closures
