Full job description

About AIM Intelligent Machines Everything humanity depends on is mined, dug, or grown. At AIM, we are building the autonomous linchpin of civilization. We transform heavy machinery—bulldozers, loaders, excavators—into AI-powered fleets that operate continuously, safely, and at peak performance in the world’s harshest environments.

AIM runs production mines, large scale infrastructure builds, and defense operations as a TRL9 hardened system, not a science experiment.

Built by engineers from mining, construction, Waymo, SpaceX, Google and Tesla, AIM enables scalable earthmoving, turbocharging the global economy’s physical foundation. AIM is backed by some of the most sophisticated capital in the world, including General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Elad Gil, Human Capital, Ironspring Ventures, Mantis, DCVC.

Responsibilities

  • Advance AIM’s perception stack and sensor fusion algorithms

  • This involves breaking new ground as earth moving machines don’t merely navigate on existing mapped roads – they modify and build the environment as they work which poses interesting novel challenges

  • Research and development of state-of-the-art machine learning methods

  • Comfortable with hands-on applications on machines deployed in the field

Qualifications

  • Proven track record of deployed ML-based perception systems, ideally on autonomous vehicles

  • Excellent grasp of machine perception methods in 2D and 3D (depth sensing)

  • Real-world experience with localization and SLAM state-of-the-art methods

  • Experience shipping production models

  • Solid mathematical foundation of machine learning

  • Excellent software development skills in python

  • Proficiency in Tensorflow or PyTorch

  • Creativity and curiosity for solving complex problems

  • Ideal candidate will have additional experience in several of the following areas

  • Reinforcement learning

  • Robotics

  • Radar based perception

  • Point cloud processing

  • Perception sensor calibration techniques (camera, lidar, radar, etc.)

Why AIM? Joining AIM, You Will

  • Solve a massive set of real-world problems that require scalable earth moving

  • Accomplish that via deploying and expanding cutting edge tech

  • Run your workstreams with the largest degree of autonomy

  • Have an opportunity for rapid growth and a large voice on the direction of the company

  • Receive company funded medical, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, gourmet food & perks

  • Experience a strong onsite collaboration (AIM offices, labs and proving grounds on the east side of the Greater Seattle area)

  • Have an opportunity to travel to unique sites around the world (Americas, Australia, Africa & more)
