MISSION:
To drive the deployment and acceleration of perception algorithms onto embedded platforms for mass-production ADAS/autonomous driving systems. The role requires exceptional C++ and CUDA programming skills to optimize, port, and deploy deep learning models using TensorRT, with a strong focus on production-level efficiency and reliability. And being able to deploy accelerated models in Axera or horizons robotics chips. The engineer will be responsible for operator rewriting, algorithm acceleration, and ensuring seamless performance on target hardware.
POSITION RESPONSIBILITY:
• Develop, optimize, and deploy perception algorithms (e.g., detection, segmentation) onto embedded platforms for ADAS/autonomous driving applications.
• Perform operator rewriting and kernel-level optimization using C++/CUDA to maximize inference performance on target hardware.
• Utilize TensorRT for model quantization, compilation, and deployment, ensuring optimal latency and accuracy.
• Collaborate closely with foreign-based algorithm and software teams to understand requirements, discuss technical solutions, and integrate modules.
• Lead the on-board deployment of perception models, including performance profiling, bottleneck analysis, and cross-platform optimization.
• Drive projects from R&D to mass production (SOP), ensuring robustness, efficiency, and compliance with automotive standards.
• Support the integration and acceleration of models on specific AI chips, leveraging expertise in platforms such as Horizon Robotics or Axera.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in C++ development within ADAS, autonomous driving, or embedded AI.
• Proven track record of deploying deep learning models to real-world products, with at least one successful mass-production project.
• Strong communication skills in English, capable of clear and effective technical discussions with foreign colleagues and partners.
• Deep understanding of computer vision and deep learning fundamentals.
• A problem-solving mindset, a strong sense of ownership, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIREMENTS
• Core Languages & Frameworks:
o Expert-level C++ programming in a Linux development environment.
o Advanced CUDA programming and performance profiling (Nsight).
o Proficient in Python for scripting and model conversion (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
o Extensive experience with NVIDIA TensorRT for model optimization and deployment.
• Domain Knowledge:
o In-depth knowledge of deep learning model deployment pipelines and optimization techniques (pruning, quantization, knowledge distillation).
o Solid understanding of computer vision tasks relevant to ADAS, such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and depth estimation.
• Platform & Hardware Expertise:
o Strong Preference: Practical working experience with AI chips from Horizon Robotics (Journey series) or Axera (Axera Tech).
o Experience with operator development, custom layer implementation, and model migration for specific AI accelerators.
o Familiarity with embedded system development and optimization.
• Core Competencies:
o Algorithm acceleration and low-level optimization skills.
o Experience in rewriting or implementing custom operators for unsupported layers.
o Strong analytical skills for performance profiling and bottleneck identification.
