All Things Urban

Humanising Autonomy envisions a future where people around the world can naturally and intuitively interact with autonomous systems, and is creating a new category of human-centred products that help people and autonomous systems to better understand, interact, and work with each other.

At Humanising Autonomy our aim is to enable a safer, more human-centered implementation of autonomous technology. Our human intent prediction platform is able to recognise and predict pedestrian and vulnerable road user behaviour in real-time. The technology understands the full range of human behaviour, and predicts numerous pedestrian behaviours and intentions across different environments using only visual cameras.

We are now looking for a Public Policy and Partnerships Manager who can help us achieve our vision of a global standard of how autonomous systems will interact with people within the automotive and mobility industries.

You will be part of the core team and help achieve our vision of a global standard of how autonomous systems will interact with people within the automotive and mobility industries. You will be responsible for Humanising Autonomy’s Public Policy strategy and will be leading the Partnerships and Consortium development with Public and Private stakeholders in the mobility ecosystem.

The role will involve building and executing the right strategy for large scale deployment of Humanising Autonomy’s intent prediction technology across various cities. You will be driving Humanising Autonomy’s standardisation efforts to establish a new standard for how autonomous systems interact with people. The role will be based out of London, UK with regular national and international travel.

The role will involve large responsibility and autonomy within the company, and require the ability to work both independently as well as part of a creative core team of designers, data scientists, and engineers.

Your work will impact how autonomous systems will interact with people - a field whose relevance is rapidly expanding, and from which you can expect a fast-moving adventure!
