Senior Applied Scientist

TomTomAmsterdamHybridFull-time4 days ago

TomTom is seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to join the Traffic Control Features team within its Automated Driving organization. The role involves developing algorithms and machine-learning solutions for traffic signs, traffic lights, road markings, and other traffic-control features, requiring 4+ years of experience in applied science, machine learning, or computer vision, and proficiency in Python and ML frameworks.

What you'll do

Develop algorithms and ML solutions for traffic signs, traffic lights, road markings, and other traffic-control features, including projects with Computer Vision and Image Recognition.
Design and productionize solutions that extract reliable map information from diverse, large-scale and noisy real-world data sources, including car sensor data and unstructured information.
Improve how features are detected, positioned, and associated with the correct road/lane and driving direction.
Drive measurable improvements in recall, precision, and overall map quality against customer-facing targets.
Own components of production pipelines, from input data and feature extraction through evaluation and validated map output.
Solve complex problems involving geospatial geometry, map matching, computer vision, image recognition, noisy observations, ground-truth quality, and large-scale evaluation.
Run experiments, translate successful approaches into production solutions, and clearly document outcomes.
Use AI tools, such as Claude Code, to support problem solving, data analysis, implementation, and engineering productivity.
Mentor junior colleagues, provide insightful code reviews, and contribute to hiring.
