About the Company
At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.
A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.
Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.
What you'll do:
- Dive deep into the challenges faced by current sensors like stereo cameras and lidar, especially
when they malfunction in adverse weather conditions. - Play an integral role in the AISee project, where we explore groundbreaking neural network
architectures, including generative AI and sensor fusion networks. - Contribute to enhancing disturbed sensor streams, focusing on robust object detection even in the
harshest weather. - Apply and adapt algorithms to the most cutting-edge sensor technologies to ensure autonomous
vehicles can navigate seamlessly in any scenario. - You will collaborate with many internationally renowned research organizations in the United
States and Germany, pushing the state-of-the-art what we can do with today's sensors and
algorithms.
What you'll need to Succeed:
