Who we are
Our team is the first in the world to use autonomous vehicles on public roads using end-to-end deep learning, computer vision and reinforcement learning. Leveraging our multi-national world-class research team, we’re focusing on using less data to learn more intelligent algorithms to bring autonomy for everyone, everywhere. We aim to be the future of self-driving cars, not vehicles that are told how to drive through hand-coded rules and maps, but ones which learn from experience and data.
Where you will have an impact
We’re looking for a Senior Buyer who is excited to work with our hardware team to bring our components and vehicle together to deliver the next generation of autonomous vehicles. In this role, you’ll be working cross-functionally between engineering teams, supply chain, finance and managing our suppliers, contract manufacturers, and other manufacturing partners to track materials and drive build readiness. You will also track the costed BOMs and keep track of fully loaded costs of the product.
