Mobileye Vision Technologies
Jerusalem, Israel and Princeton, NJ

Imagine smart cars that can sense their surroundings and warn drivers before they get into an accident. Today, cars that drive themselves are no longer a dream. Vision systems that keep the vehicles on the road and react to other traffic and crossing pedestrians are here. Mobileye is making this happen. At Mobileye Vision Technologies, we are developing advanced vision-based scene understanding systems that fuse recognition of road markings, traffic signs, vehicles and pedestrians. And we are doing all of this in real-time on our own automotive-grade vision chip that has been deployed in BMW, Volvo, and GM models. For more in information, visit http://www.mobileye.com/.

Mobileye, a global company with its main R&D center of over 150 employees located in Jerusalem, Israel, is now opening an Advanced Projects Center in downtown Princeton, NJ (next to Princeton University). Current projects focus on areas such as scene understanding, geometric inference, car, bicycle and pedestrian detection and tracking, motion and image segmentation, and structure from motion. We are looking for exceptional researchers and algorithms engineers for both offices.

Research Leads are responsible for designing our computer vision and machine learning systems.
Requirements:

Algorithms Engineers work closely with research leads to develop our state-of-the-art algorithms. While this position does not requires as much experience as research leads, our algorithm engineers are expected to learn complex concepts very rapidly and apply them to designing new algorithms.
