We are seeking Post-Doc applicants with an interest in performing cutting edge research in an active and exciting research area (cf. self-driving cars by Google, Apple and the automotive industry). Prospective applicants should have a strong academic record with a solid background in sensor processing (vision/radar/LiDAR, sensor fusion) and Machine Learning (in particular: Deep Learning). Good programming skills are expected, preferably in C++/Python. Knowledge of deep-learning frameworks (TensorFlow/PyTorch/Keras/Caffe) and OpenCV/ROS/CUDA is a plus. A certain affinity towards turning complex concepts into real-world practice (i.e. vehicle demonstrator) is desired. The successful candidate is expected to be able to act independently as well as to collaborate effectively with members of a larger team. Good English skills are required.
