Who we are:
Argo AI is a global self-driving products and services company on a mission to make the world’s streets and roadways safe, accessible, and useful for all. Our technology is built to enable commercial services for autonomous delivery and ridesharing in cities.
With experienced leaders in the field and collaborative partnerships with some of the world’s top consumer brands, we’re working block by block, city by city to empower people and businesses to be more successful. We’re individuals driven by strong values to solve complex problems together. Come join us to reimagine the human journey.
Meet the team:
Our Accelerators and Sensor Processing (ASP) team designs and implements High Performance Computing (HPC) libraries, with an edge towards GPU Computing and takes ownership over processing pipelines for the broad range of sensors in the AV system. We pair our efforts with HPC training & cross-functional hands-on helping autonomy teams to deliver algorithms for controlling the vehicle’s movement. We use the latest hardware with multi-core CPUs & many-core GPUs with the latest software toolchains to achieve our goals. Key technologies/compilers used are: C/C++14/17, multi-threading, CUDA, bazel, nvcc, gcc, clang on unix platforms. We aim for the safest and most performant way to deliver our libraries, while keeping key ease-of-use & re-usable library code for our autonomy team clients.
What you’ll do:
- Analyzing the architecture & designs of existing HPC/GPU libraries & solutions and propose new ideas, approaches and implement them
- Work cross-functionally & hands-on with our autonomy team clients, training & helping them using HPC/GPU methodologies
- Optimize implementations in respect to efficient use of the parallel computing hardware
- Contributing to the built up of the infrastructure / processes / standards in the team
- Work as a member of ASP team
- Producing high quality software in the safety relevant context of fully automated driving
What you'll need to succeed:
- Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field
- Excellent programming skills in C/C++ (C++14/17)
- Multiple years of hands-on experience with GPU Computing (APIs like CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL/GLSL/Compute Shaders, Vulkan/SPIR-V)
- Hands-on experience in developing multi-threaded applications in C/C++
- Good understanding of library architecture, design and implementation
- Good foundation of applied computer science and object oriented (OO) design
- Good understanding of operating system architecture and systems programming
- Passionate for producing high-quality, production-ready and well-tested code
- Bachelor, Masters Degree or PhD on HPC subjects
