About the role

What You'll Do

  • Develop the cloud mapping subsystem with graph optimization at its core.
  • Develop the Sensor Fusion Localization subsystem, which combines the measurements of multiple sensors (LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, etc.) to calculate rover position to centimeter precision and orientation to 0.1-degree precision.
  • Support sister development and operation teams on issues related to localization.

What You'll Need

  • 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong C++ programming skills
  • Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design patterns
  • Solid soft skills — intra- and inter-team collaboration, business-driven development focus, planning and getting-things-done, effective and respectful communication

Nice to Have

  • Experience in robotics. Good knowledge of EKF, localization, calibration, and point cloud processing algorithms is welcome.
  • Strong mathematical knowledge and skills, especially in optimization, probability theory, and mechanics. Ability to turn ideas into formulas and formulas into algorithms.
  • Relevant publications or achievements in hackathons / programming contests
  • Eagerness to track recent advancements in the field and implement the best ideas to keep algorithms' performance state-of-the-art and beyond
