Overview

Who we are: Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we're building more than a transportation system; we're creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Meet the team

The Glydways perception team is responsible for designing and implementing a perception system that includes data fusion from state-of-the-art sensors (e.g., LIDAR, RADAR, High definition cameras, Ultra-wide-band radios, etc.) and robust detection, classification, and tracking of any and all obstacles that could present a hazard to the vehicle (Glydcars) in the system. The perception system for Glydways will reason about information from each Glydcar and from regularly spaced sensor pods monitoring the road network.

The perception team plays a vital role within the Autonomy Software engineering team. The team's deliverables include:

• Documenting a detailed design for enacting a safe system that can be certified by public transportation authorities.
• Implementing said design on mature prototype vehicles in demonstrations to customers, potential customers, and investors.
• Expanding the design to include fail-operational capabilities that extend the overall system to safely give our customers a more comfortable experience.
• Managing data collection, autonomy testing, and milestone demonstration events that showcase the system's maturing capabilities, leading to a production system.

Team members may work remotely and must be self-motivated.

• Introducing and customizing automation into data extraction and labeling pipelines.
• Design and improve metrics pipelines and create monitoring dashboards to track performance of perception systems in production.
• Build and maintain infrastructure and ETL pipelines for training, validating, and deploying ML models.
• Build and maintain infrastructure for interfacing with third party labeling companies.
• Ensure reproducibility, traceability, and observability of Perception workflows.

Required Skills and Abilities

• 5+ years experience in Modern C++ software design and development.
• Experience with large multimodal datasets and their curation.
• Self starter - experience developing a solution end-to-end starting from vague requirements in a cross team collaborative environment.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Robotics and/or autonomous driving platform experience
• Implementation of end- to- end test and metrics workflows and dashboards
• Implementation of analytics and insight tools for AD datasets
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Hands-on experience with ML platforms (e.g., MLflow, SageMaker, Valohai, or equivalent).
• Experience in building 3D Visualization tools for LiDAR point cloud data
