VINFAST is a pioneering electric vehicle (EV) company committed to revolutionizing the automotive industry with sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. As a leading player in the EV market, VinFast is dedicated to delivering high-quality, cutting‑edge electric vehicles that redefine the driving experience.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior ML Perception Engineer to join our self‑driving team. In this role you will design, develop, and deploy advanced perception algorithms that enable autonomous vehicles to accurately sense, interpret, and interact with the world around them. You will work on cutting‑edge challenges in 3D object and occupancy detection, tracking, sensor fusion, scene understanding, and foundation models for self‑driving, with a direct impact on the safety and performance of our autonomous systems.

Requirements

Develop, prototype, and optimize algorithms for 3D object and occupancy detection, multi‑object tracking, semantic segmentation, and 3D scene understanding using multi‑sensor data (camera, LiDAR, radar, etc.)
Design and adapt foundation models for self‑driving perception, enabling scalable, generalizable representations across tasks and sensor modalities
Build and improve multi‑sensor fusion pipelines to enhance robustness under diverse and challenging driving scenarios
Research, adapt, and implement state‑of‑the‑art methods in machine learning and computer vision (e.g., BEV perception, occupancy networks, multimodal fusion, end‑to‑end models)
Translate research insights into production‑ready solutions, ensuring scalability, robustness, and efficiency
Optimize deep learning models for real‑time inference on automotive‑grade hardware
Design and execute evaluation, benchmarking, and validation of perception models across real‑world datasets and simulation environments
Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to integrate perception models into the full self‑driving stack
Contribute to data curation, annotation strategies, and scalable training pipelines to accelerate perception development
Drive engineering excellence by writing high‑quality, efficient, and well‑tested code
Stay current with the latest advances in computer vision, deep learning, robotics, and foundation models, and contribute to publications and patents when possible
MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, with 5+ years of relevant industry experience
