## About the role

As a Principal Engineer on the Model Foundations team you will build the geometric vision and 3D foundation models that underpin our autonomous driving systems.You will work at the intersection of large-scale deep learning, geometric computer vision, and real-world robotics, developing models that learn 3D structure and dynamics from fleet-scale sensor data.

## What they're looking for

- Design and train 3D foundation models and world models using large-scale driving data
- Develop model architectures for 3D perception, geometric reasoning, reconstruction, and world modeling across space and time
- Build scalable data generation and auto-labeling pipelines that produce high-quality geometric supervision from large volumes of sensor data
- Develop and apply techniques in multi-view geometry, neural rendering, NeRFs, Gaussian Splatting, implicit 3D representations, and feedforward 3D modeling
- Explore geometry-aware tokenization and representation learning, including efficient ways to encode and fuse information across cameras, viewpoints, time, and sensing modalities
- Develop foundation vision models that make effective use of camera, radar, LiDAR, and other sensor data for learning rich representations of the physical world
