Job Description

If hired, you will be our first research engineer at the new Bosch Austin site. The site is embedded in the University of Texas at Austin's Computer Science Department, with offices in the CS Department's beautiful new Gates Dell Complex.

You will conduct applied R&D and contribute software to Bosch autonomous driving platforms. You will also collaborate with UT Austin researchers on peer-reviewed research and associated publications. And you will work with us to identify projects that are a strong fit for our group.

We want to hear from you if you are adept at bridging between fundamental research results and specific applications of those results, can lead an R&D team on the core software development aspects of its work, enjoy collaborating and communicating about your work, and are comfortable moving between settings of fundamental research and applied R&D.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Collaborate on research projects involving the usage of machine learning to improve state-of-the-art autonomous driving and driver assistance systems. Research activities will span collaborating on fundamental topics---where autonomous driving may only be one application of your work---and leading applied topics.
• Develop, implement, and evaluate algorithms that can be applied to existing Bosch autonomous driving projects
• Support fundamental research projects through software design and programming
• Contribute to the writing and publication of peer-reviewed research
• Become part of the UT Austin Computer Science community, attending research group meetings and lectures as well as discussing ideas with university colleagues
• Become an expert on the application to projects within Bosch of machine learning for decision making, including adapting research code to be application compatible

Qualifications

• BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Graduate degree with a focus on robotic learning, reinforcement learning, learning from demonstration / behavioral cloning / imitation learning, or planning for navigation

• PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• PhD in one of the fields listed above

• Strongly preferred: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

• Strongly preferred: Expert in general software development within complex system architectures and varied toolsets

• Strongly preferred: Adept at C++ or Python programming in the context of machine learning development

• Strongly preferred: Past publication in related fields

• Widely networked with other researchers in related fields

• Experience designing and implementing deep learning algorithms for sequential decision-making

• Industry R&D experience in a related field

• Knowledge of common automated-driving algorithms, including algorithms for perception and behavior generation

• Knowledge of driver assistance technologies

• More general expertise in automotive systems: experience with vehicle and system test-release procedures in automotive or related industries; experience in embedded automotive systems; and understanding of vehicle architecture and vehicle interfaces

• Experience testing algorithms on real vehicles
