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
Mentor and guide ML engineers, cultivating best practices in experimentation, code quality, and model validation
Stay at the forefront of ML research, exploring self-supervised learning, large-scale pretraining, or foundation models for 3D perception
