Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Mount Royal
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.
Meet the Team:
As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer specializing in BEV (Bird’s-Eye View) and Multi-Modal Perception, you will lead the development of next-generation models that unify information across cameras, LiDAR and radar to deliver a rich spatial understanding of the driving environment.
You will drive architectural innovation, large‑scale model training, and data‑driven improvements that directly advance the perception capabilities at the heart of Torc’s autonomous driving stack.
This is a technical leadership role focused on model innovation and maturity, not downstream feature integration.
What You’ll Do
Lead BEV model development:
Define and execute the technical roadmap for BEV‑based perception models across multiple tasks (e.g., detection, segmentation, road topology, and scene understanding).
Design advanced multi‑modal architectures that fuse heterogeneous sensor data (camera, LiDAR, radar, HD maps) into unified spatial representations.
Develop foundational perception models leveraging BEV transformers, voxel‑based encoders, or implicit scene representations.
Own large‑scale training workflows — from data sampling strategies and augmentation pipelines to distributed training and hyperparameter optimization.
Advance model robustness and generalization, addressing long‑tail conditions such as low visibility, occlusions, and rare scene configurations.
Establish evaluation frameworks for geometric accuracy, temporal stability, and cross‑domain transfer performance.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with sensor calibration, mapping, and fusion teams to ensure cohesive perception model interfaces.
Mentor and guide ML engineers, cultivating best practices in experimentation, code quality, and model validation.
Stay at the forefront of ML research, exploring self‑supervised learning, large‑scale pretraining, or foundation models for 3D perception.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
10+ years of experience in deep learning for perception, 3D vision, and/or autonomous systems
M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Proven expertise in BEV modeling, 3D scene understanding, and multi‑view fusion.
Strong background in multi‑modal sensor fusion, particularly integrating camera and LiDAR data.
Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or Tensor Flow.
Experience with large‑scale data pipelines, distributed training, and experiment management systems.
Demonstrated leadership in driving ML model innovation and mentoring technical teams.
Bonus Points!
Experience with autonomous driving or robotics perception in production environments.
Experience with MLOps and infrastructure tools (Ray)
Hands‑on expertise in BEV‑based ML architectures, LiDAR‑vision fusion, or spatial‑temporal modeling.
Familiarity with 3D labeling, calibration, and sensor simulation pipelines.
Track record of publications or open‑source contributions in top‑tier venues (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICRA, CoRL).
Understanding of performance trade‑offs and deployment constraints (latency, memory, accuracy).
Knowledge of English is required since the selected candidate will need to collaborate daily with English‑speaking colleagues in the United States and work with technical documentation written exclusively in English.
Work Location:
For this position, we are open to hiring in either the Torc Montreal, Quebec (Canada) or Ann Arbor, MI (U.S.) office work locations in a hybrid capacity. We are also open to hiring Remote in the United States or Canada.
