Talent for Autonomous Driving Systems

Autonomy programs need engineers who move across computer vision, sensor fusion, AI/ML perception, and planning — not specialists boxed into one legacy discipline. Propellence finds the bridge talent traditional automotive recruiting misses.

Autonomous-driving hiring is a convergence problem: six disciplines, one stack.
Roles We Fill

Cross-domain autonomy roles, precisely defined

We search by what the autonomy stack actually needs — often a hybrid profile beyond a standard job description.

COMPUTER VISION

Computer Vision Engineer

Camera-based detection, segmentation, and tracking pipelines for vehicle perception.

SENSOR FUSION

Sensor Fusion Engineer

LiDAR, radar, and camera fusion into a calibrated environmental model.

PERCEPTION

Perception Systems Engineer

Detection, classification, and tracking that makes raw sensor data actionable.

AI/ML

ML Engineer, Autonomy

Training, validation, and real-time deployment of perception and prediction models.

PLANNING & CONTROL

Motion Planning Engineer

Path planning, trajectory optimization, and vehicle-control algorithms.

LEADERSHIP

Head of Autonomous Driving

Cross-domain roadmap and build-vs-buy decisions across the autonomy stack.
