Research Scientist - Voice AI Foundations
DeepgramFull Time
Mid-level (3 to 4 years), Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent research experience, demonstrating technical innovation and expertise in Python and PyTorch (or JAX). Strong software-engineering fundamentals and experience with distributed training are required, along with expert domain knowledge in generative or predictive models of the physical world with scale and efficiency in mind for real-world applications.
As a Research Scientist, you will conduct fundamental and applied research in generative and predictive world-modeling, collaborate with simulation engineers to integrate models into large-scale training pipelines, publish high-impact research at top conferences, mentor junior scientists and interns, and stay current with emerging advances in generative AI, differentiable rendering, and robotics.
Develops self-driving technology for trucking
Waabi focuses on developing self-driving technology specifically for the trucking industry. Their main product, the Waabi Driver, is designed to learn from experiences, adapt to new situations, and work with various hardware setups. This technology aims for large-scale use and is intended for integration into vehicles by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). A key feature that sets Waabi apart from competitors is its use of Waabi World, an advanced simulation environment that allows for efficient development of their self-driving systems. This reduces the need for extensive real-world testing, which can be costly and time-consuming, while also improving safety and adaptability. Waabi's goal is to transform the trucking industry by providing technology that lowers operational costs and enhances safety for commercial vehicles. They aim to license their technology to trucking companies and OEMs, making it easier for these businesses to adopt self-driving solutions.
