You’ll work alongside the broader Perception team to review and annotate data, adding critical contextual metadata for machine learning applications.

Our Perception systems rely on accurately annotated data to power safety-critical capabilities such as avoiding other aircraft, detecting ground-based obstacles, and ensuring precise deliveries.

  • Become an expert in different sensor data streams, helping to identify problems, challenging cases and improve the overall labeling and review processes
  • Use internal tools to label data, providing feedback on how to make them better and more efficient
  • Review data labeled by external labeling services for accuracy and completeness
  • Meet weekly quotas for data delivery to keep algorithmic development on track, while maintaining a high bar for quality
  • Be willing to support other team members of the Perception and Perception Data team on ongoing special projects as needed

Requirements

  • You have a bachelor’s degree in any engineering/applied sciences background
  • You have work experience in an engineering/applied sciences field
  • You enjoy working on tasks that require attention to details for an extended period of time
  • You can communicate effectively (verbally and in writing) in English
