We help make autonomous technologies more efficient, safer, and accessible.
Helm.ai builds AI software for autonomous driving and robotics. Our Deep Teaching™ methodology is uniquely data and capital efficient, allowing us to surpass traditional approaches. Our unsupervised learning software can train neural networks without the need for human annotation or simulation and is hardware-agnostic. We work with some of the world's largest automotive manufacturers and we've raised over $100M from Honda, Goodyear Ventures, Mando, and others to help us scale.
Our team is made up of people with a diverse set of experiences in software and academia. We work together towards one common goal: to integrate the software you'll help us build into hundreds of millions of vehicles.
You will collaborate with researchers to perform research operations using existing infrastructure. You will use your judgment in complex scenarios and help apply standard techniques to a wide variety of technical problems. Specifically, you will:
- Characterize neural network quality, failure modes, and edge cases based on research data
- Maintain awareness of current trends in relevant areas of research and technology
- Coordinate with researchers and accurately convey status of experiments
- Manage a large number of concurrent experiments and make accurate time estimates with respect to deadlines
- Review experimental results and suggest theoretical or process improvements for future iterations
