Software Engineer - Calibration

Responsibilities

• Implement a software pipeline which enables calibration of sensor intrinsic and extrinsic parameters for a variety of vehicles of different sensor configurations
• Design processes to manage the lifecycle and deployment of calibrations besides operations around data collection, processing and evaluation
• Work across teams, interface closely with and contribute to the core calibration algorithm team at Applied
• Have an opportunity to build state-of-the-art algorithms for both offline calibration in the factory / lab and online calibration to account for sensor variation due to temperature or other on-road and off-road conditions
• Enable sensor fusion and work with a variety of sensors including Camera, Lidar, Radar, IMU, GNSS, and more
• Drive an excellent product experience by designing a user-friendly Calibration procedure, as well as exposure of online Calibration status through HMI integration

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address practical engineering challenges
• Hands-on experience with one or more domain relevant algorithm, software framework or tools, such as calibration, middleware, benchmarking suites, data sets and related pipelines, or algorithmic libraries
• C++ and/or Python programming expertise
• Willingness to learn and be a self starter, and can quickly become comfortable with new technical tools
• Passion for turning their software development expertise into solving real-world applications of autonomous system

Nice to have

• MSc in calibration, state-estimation, optimization, or closely related field
• Understanding of the core calibration concepts, world representations and transforms, optimization, the intersection of perception and state-estimation, and noise characteristics of various sensors
• Experience doing hands-on work in relevant state-of-the-art offline and online calibration algorithms, and experience with both early and late stage sensor fusion for state estimation
• Understanding of inertial and perception sensors, state of the art industry solutions, and common approaches for production systems
• Experience building and shipping software frameworks or tools that are used by others than the authors of the framework

Compensation

• Base salary range: $180,000 - $250,000 USD annually
• Equity, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, 401k with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, paid time off
