Research Engineer/Senior Research Engineer, 3D Auto-Labeling and Data Flywheel

PlusAI is a Physical AI company pioneering AI-based virtual driver software for factory-built autonomous trucks. Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations in the United States and Europe, Plus was named by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. Partners including TRATON GROUP’s Scania, MAN, and International brands, Hyundai Motor Company, Iveco Group, Bosch, and DSV are working with Plus to accelerate the deployment of next-generation autonomous trucks. If you’re ready to make a huge impact and drive the future of autonomy, Plus is looking for talented individuals to join its fast-growing teams.

Improving the models that drive our trucks depends on a data flywheel: among petabytes of fleet recordings, we curate the moments that matter, label them, train and evaluate onboard models, deploy, and collect again. Labeling is where this loop usually stalls, because human labeling does not scale with the fleet. Auto-labeling closes that gap: offline models and compute, free of the vehicle's real-time limits, draft the labels, and people verify and correct only where it matters. This role focuses on 3D obstacle auto-labeling: producing accurate 3D object labels from curated multi-sensor recordings, at a quality that lets reviewers verify rather than draw and at a cost that scales. The underlying problems are general: fusing cameras and lidar into consistent 3D estimates, keeping objects consistent through time and occlusion, and knowing when a machine label is good enough. The role starts with 3D obstacles and can expand into other parts of the data flywheel over time.

We are open to candidates at either the Research Engineer or Senior Research Engineer level. Level will be determined by experience, technical depth, scope of responsibility and demonstrated impact. You do not need experience with every technology in our stack; we value strong fundamentals, a sense of responsibility and the ability to learn.
