Sr. Staff Software Engineer, Pose, Localization & Calibration, Autonomy

Our Pose Team is a diverse group of algorithm developers / software engineers focused on delivering mapping, localization, and calibration solutions hosted on the vehicle and in the Cloud. Pose is a core capability of the autonomy stack delivering products to Perception, Prediction, Planning, Control, and others. As a Sr. Software Engineer on the Pose team, you will work on a wide variety of localization and calibration problems including real-time algorithm development on the vehicle.

Technical leadership: Define, review, and refactor the architecture, algorithms, and frameworks for solving pose, calibration, and SLAM problems. The problems we work on involve processing and fusing input data from multiple sensors including GNSS, IMU, wheel / radar / visual / lidar odometry to produce state-of-the-art global and relative localization systems. We also work on the calibration of sensors going into these algorithms.
Implementation leadership: Implement these algorithms and frameworks in C++. Mentor junior engineers involved in the implementation, and help drive our standards for high-quality, high-performance, scalable autonomy software.
Integrating these algorithms into our autonomous vehicle architecture, including migrating these algorithms to real-time embedded systems, and integrity monitoring.
Evaluation: help define and develop pipelines to evaluate and iterate on our algorithms at scale.
Our team is responsible for interfacing directly with suppliers, interfacing with our software, hardware, and vehicle design teams, developing safety-critical localization algorithms for any environment.

M.S. or Ph.D. in Aerospace, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
