We help make autonomous technologies more efficient, safer, and accessible.
Helm.ai builds AI software for autonomous driving and robotics. Our Deep Teaching™ methodology is uniquely data and capital efficient, allowing us to surpass traditional approaches. Our unsupervised learning software can train neural networks without the need for human annotation or simulation and is hardware-agnostic. We work with some of the world's largest automotive manufacturers and we've raised over $100M from Honda, Goodyear Ventures, Mando, and others to help us scale.
Our team is made up of people with a diverse set of experiences in software and academia. We work together towards one common goal: to integrate the software you'll help us build into hundreds of millions of vehicles.
You will collaborate with research engineers to build infrastructure to perform research operations and automate the training and optimization of ML models for real-time inference in computer vision applications. Specifically, you will:
- Write frameworks with flexible and modular components to quickly prototype trainings and implement new cutting-edge research ideas
- Build robust and fault-tolerant ML pipelines for running inference on large image and video datasets
- Leverage your knowledge of deep learning frameworks to optimize trainings in terms of GPU utilization, memory, speed, and accuracy
- Design and implement APIs to automate the training and validation of a wide range of ML models for specialized use cases
You have:
- 5+ years of experience in a directly related field
- Experience with tensorflow/pytorch, Jax, or related deep learning framework
- Experience building distributed, scalable software as a service
- Proficiency in Python
- Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to a variety of audiences
