== 
Honda Research Institute USA (HRI-US) is at the cutting edge of Honda's
research and development activities. Inspired by Honda's global slogan - The
Power of Dreams - we pursue emerging technologies and bring them into
reality to make people happy, even as we are engaged daily in highly
scientific, pioneering work. We realize that dreams don't come from
organizations, systems, or money. They come from people, and we seek people
who have such challenging spirits to work with us. 


- Computer Vision (Job Number: P13F01) 

Honda Research Institute in Mountain View, California, has an opening in the
area of computer vision based sensor fusion for mapping, localization, and
related problems. Algorithms will be implemented online to process input
from cameras and other sensors including IMU's, GPS, and sensor data
transmitted over automotive CAN bus. The successful applicant will be a part
of a research team developing and implementing a real-time robotic
perception platform supporting research on advanced driver assistance
systems and autonomous driving applications. 

His/her responsibilities include: 
* Research on sensor fusion for localization and mapping 
* Develop software implementing proposed algorithms 
* Employ sensor fusion techniques with multi-modal data 
* Setup and run module regression tests using large collections of sensor
data 
* Benchmarking results against ground truth data 

Qualifications: 
* PhD degree in Computer Science, EE or related field 
* Strong experience in an area such as SLAM, Bayesian filtering, sensor
fusion 
* Broad knowledge of computer vision, robotics and machine learning 
* Experience with online sensor processing of cameras, lidar, GPS, CAN bus 
* Excellent programming skills in C++ and Linux 

Desirable: 
* GPGPU programming, runtime optimization 
* Experience programming in robotics application frameworks such as ROS
(Robot Operating System) 
* Working knowledge of popular libraries such as OpenCV, PCL and Eigen 
* Experience working with GIS data and coordinate systems 

- Multi-Modal Interaction (Job Number: P13F02) 

The successful candidate will be expected to engage in research and
prototyping of novel, next-generation automotive interfaces using multiple
modalities working together, like speech, haptic sensors and visual
displays. He/she will be working with a team of diverse backgrounds, and
expect to participate in all aspects of the creative process, from concept
ideas to execution and evaluation of those concepts. 

The candidate will be responsible for using information from various sensor
signal streams (e.g., cameras, depth sensors, microphones, CAN bus data) and
apply data fusion and inference methods to understand driver behavior and
intent in order to create new interactive experiences for driver and
passengers. As a member of the group we encourage the candidates to
contribute new research ideas and to participate in presentations and
scientific publications. 

Qualifications: 

* Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent 
* Strong background in computer vision, computer graphics, signal
processing, interaction design, machine learning 
* Excellent skills in C/C++, Python, Linux 
* Versatility with a variety of relevant APIs such as OpenCV, OpenNI, OpenGL


- Driver Monitoring (Job Number: P13F03) 

Honda Research Institute USA, Inc. in Mountain View, California, has an
opening for research and development of multimodal information fusion for
driver behavior understanding. The project goal is to understand driver's
behavior and intention by combining information from visual and speech
information. The candidate will be responsible for using information from
various sensor signal streams (e.g., cameras, depth sensors, eye trackers,
microphones, CAN bus data) and applying data fusion and inference methods to
understand driver behavior in order to make a meaningful interaction between
the driver and car. As a member of the group we encourage the candidates to
contribute new research ideas and to participate in presentations and
scientific publications. 

Qualifications: 
* Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent 
* Strong background in computer vision, signal processing, data fusion,
probabilistic inference, machine learning 
* Excellent skills in C/C++, Linux 
* Versatility with a variety of relevant tools such as OpenCV, Speech
recognizers 

Desirable: 
* Experience with real-time systems e.g., gesture and activity recognition,
driver monitoring 
* Experience in implementing multimodal systems
