Overview

Autonomous Software Engineer leads improvements for calibration localization and mapping subsystems. Works on a small team delivering production quality software for HD map creation and localization for autonomous vehicle fleets. This role offers ownership of well scoped components while collaborating across vehicle infrastructure hardware QA and autonomy teams. It is ideal for an early career engineer seeking to deepen expertise in mapping and localization on real production hardware.

What You'll Do4

  • 1Implement tune and test mapping localization and sensor calibration algorithms using C++ and Python with guidance and code review from senior team members.
  • 2Contribute to tooling and metrics for performance validation and continuous testing frameworks.
  • 3Debug and analyze algorithm performance using real world and simulated sensor data and iterate based on results from vehicle testing.
  • 4Balance assigned project tasks code reviews and learning to meet product driven milestones in a fast paced startup environment.

Requirements6

  • 15+ years building ETL pipelines with Spark and Airflow.
  • 2BS or MS in robotics computer science electrical engineering or similar technical field (MS a plus).
  • 3Solid foundation in probability theory linear algebra 3D geometry and spatial coordinate transformations.
  • 4Familiarity with matrix factorization algorithms and Lie algebra/groups or strong willingness to learn.
  • 5Exposure to 3D Lidar based mapping and localization concepts for autonomous vehicles (e.g. LOAM series GICP FastLIO bundle adjustment).
  • 6Experience with state estimation frameworks such as EKFs and/or nonlinear optimization libraries (GTSAM G2O Ceres Solver, etc.).
