Senior AI Researcher

Description

Nexar-powered dash cams enable new vision-based applications for safer driving. When drivers pair Nexar-powered dash cams with the Nexar app, they join a network that powers new applications for driving and seeing the world. Using anonymous, aggregated data captured from this network, Nexar has developed a portfolio of vision-based data services for public and private sector partners to make roadways safer and more efficient. For automotive companies, Nexar’s network and crowd-sourced vision technology are a gateway to a new era of connected services and new killer apps for drivers, from Real-time Mapping Applications for Automated Driving to 3D Scenario Reconstruction of Corner-Cases for Autonomous Vehicles Simulation and Validation.

That’s where you get into the picture. We are on a quest to scale our AI team with individuals who are not only brilliant and passionate but also driven by our mission to reshape the future of mobility. As a Senior AI Researcher, you will be at the forefront of this transformative journey, pushing the boundaries of AI and contributing significantly to our cutting-edge projects.
