– Design and implement core pieces of the next generation mapping and localization engine.

– Contribute to a mapping system that scales to city-size environments while preserving high resolution geometry to aid navigation in tight quarters.

– Collaborate to improve map annotation tooling and consumption of data by neural network based approaches for safe traversable area navigation.

– Contribute to flexible location estimation fusing relative and absolute measurements.

– Work closely with other autonomy team members to maximize the utility provided by mapping and localization.

– Ship production quality code, participate in code reviews, teach/mentor more junior engineers.

 

– Bachelor’s degree in Robotics focused in localization and mapping and 2+ years of industry experience.

– Experience building SLAM systems in production.

– Strong C++ programming skills.

– Experience designing and building a simple system that works, and having it gradually evolve into a elegant system that scales.

– Strong verbal and writing communication skills.

 

– PhD in Robotics focused in localization and mapping.

– Experience building cloud applications.

– Building infrastructure for labeling and maintaining HD maps.

– Experience with very large geospatial datasets.

– Experience with CUDA programming.
