We are developing a powerful robotic tractor-trailer automation system that can execute complex maneuvers in large, confined, private-property industrial environments through mixed traffic and around people in a reliable, safety-cognizant manner. This is the next stage of warehouse automation: bringing industrial-grade, autonomous mobile robotics outside the warehouse walls into a specific, well-defined trailer yard setting that's pervasive and essential to the daily operations of the world's largest logistics-dependent companies. Outrider's strong financial backing; clear, consistent product vision; and exceptional engineering organization allow the Perception team to develop practical but powerful technologies in a well-equipped, rigorous, and fast-paced environment.

We are seeking a talented and experienced technical manager to lead our team of exceptional engineers. As the Senior Manager, Perception Algorithms, you will be responsible for driving the development and implementation of cutting-edge algorithms and technologies that enable the autonomous tractor to perceive, understand, and respond to its environment. In particular, your aim is to bring key technologies from the peer Deep Learning team and combine those with state estimation, system safety, and many other technical disciplines to create the most effective perception subsystem possible. Your leadership and technical expertise will be crucial in shaping the future of the Outrider System's perception capabilities.

At Outrider, we believe in cultivating an environment where there is diversity of perspectives, experiences, and knowledge with the expectation that we thrive in an inclusive environment. Outrider is committed to a workforce where everyone's opportunities are limitless regardless of race, national origin, gender, age, religion, disability, veteran status, or any others that are protected by law.
