Expression of Interest: System Engineer - AD/ADAS Perception Expert

Our mission
Kognic is taking on one of the most challenging areas in AI product development - the quest to align humans and machines into building trusted and high-performing applications. Our platform enables businesses to get to market faster with less risk by using our toolset to define and refine datasets. We help machines reliably make sense of a messy, chaotic, and unstructured world.

Our leading market is mobility, but our future goes far beyond making automated and autonomous driving a reality. We are expanding into robotics, industrial manufacturing and other markets to help AI product teams better understand their data.

We know it's not something we can solve overnight, or on our own. We have to make extraordinary leaps in technology happen, but that’s what excites us. And we wouldn’t have it any other way!

The role
As our System Engineer - Perception Expert within AD/ADAS, you will be a part of our Advisory Services department. In this role you will guide our clients in creating safer and more advanced products. You'll be responsible for connecting important areas to develop and validate perception systems for cutting-edge autonomous driving solutions. Our team provides invaluable guidance to clients, where you translate the goal of building safe autonomous vehicles into precise perception system KPI requirements, annotation context, content, and quality.

We address crucial questions, such as determining the level of detail required for ground-truth data labeling to ensure reliable system KPIs and safety certifications. Challenging the status quo, our team delivers candid advice and challenges clients' preconceptions. Our ultimate aim is their success, which necessitates a deep understanding of their needs, effective guidance, credibility in interactions, and a structured work approach.

Additionally, the team's domain expertise will be shared company-wide for educational purposes and to provide valuable inputs to our product teams.
