Software Engineer - Mapping and Localization

About the position Responsibilities • Design and implement a top-notch mapping and localization system capable of running on a variety of off-road vehicles, providing lifelong mapping and localization in dynamic environments. • Design and implement foundations and cutting-edge tools for users to lean heavily on mapping and localization data, for drivers inside the vehicle and for operators managing fleets and operations. • Build backend infrastructure for storing and processing many forms of map data. • Develop automated techniques to generate maps from raw data, improving our internal tools for viewing and editing maps. • Scale our systems to support mapping the world by developing robust localization algorithms that use inertial sensors, magnetometers, GNSS, differential antennas, real-time kinematic, and other various localization sensors and solutions. Requirements • Passion for building a best-in-class mapping and localization system that is absolutely reliable for highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments. • MSc in mapping, localization, or closely related field. • 3+ yrs of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address real-world mapping and localization challenges. • Hands-on experience with more than one domain relevant software framework or tools, such as middlewares, benchmarking suites, data sets and related pipelines, or algorithmic libraries. • Deep understanding of the core localization concepts, world representations and transforms, the intersection of mapping of localization, and error analysis and characterization. • Knowledge about how to analyze and compare the performance of various hardware solutions for localization. • C++ and/or Python programming expertise. Nice-to-haves • PhD in mapping, localization, or closely related field. • Deep hands-on expertise in relevant algorithms or methods, such as SLAM, probabilistic filtering, non-linear optimization, computational geometry, numerical analysis, or distributed systems. • Experience with large-scale data processing using frameworks. • Deep understanding of sensors used for localization, state of the art industry solutions, and common approaches for production systems. Benefits • Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units. • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage. • 401k retirement benefits with employer match. • Learning and wellness stipends. • Paid time off.
