A track record of excelling in ambiguous or evolving roles in a fast-paced environment

We are currently on a 3rd iteration of our data collection rig and we are just starting to work on the next generation. We need a solution with enough robustness and stability to get us through the day of data collection without issues, which we can customize and most importantly develop on our own so that we are not dependent on external support. We are including new sensors and the number of them is always growing so keeping up with the growing data load is critical.

Our perception models currently run primarily on a GPU laptop in the demo cars but we are developing an embedded solution as well to get closer to production-ready kit. The Platform team is taking care of integrating the new C++-only inference pipeline into our ecosystem by developing a control application, interacting with our in-house UI and the performant backend.

Even though we talk about CI/CD in Zendar and our CI is not something developers complain about often (yay!), the deployment part still needs to be developed. We want to move away from checking out code on our platforms and locally building, to a distribution of the released SDK.

The next generation of our UI has been developed this year and it now covers most functionality needed for customer demos. However, we want the new UI to be also used for debugging issues and analysing scenes, which will require new features.
