About the role
- Be part of a multidisciplinary team of research scientists and engineers using an AI-first approach to enable safe, scalable self-driving.
- Design and develop advanced SLAM systems to create, automate, and optimize large-scale 3D mapping pipelines for autonomous trucking environments.
- Implement robust, precise, and real-time state estimation algorithms capable of maintaining accuracy and reliability under challenging conditions.
- Build and refine deep-learning-based observation models that enhance perception and localization performance across diverse and complex real-world scenarios.
- Integrate and validate localization and mapping solutions across onboard and offline systems, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and long-term stability.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, planning, control, and systems teams to align mapping and localization outputs with broader autonomy goals.
Requirements
- Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong background in robotics and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) theory and practice.
- Demonstrated experience implementing SLAM or localization systems in camera-based and/or LiDAR-based domains in real-world environments.
- Proven experience applying deep learning to localization or mapping problems (e.g., learned feature extraction, odometry, registration, or neural SLAM).
- Solid software engineering skills in C++ and Python.
- Experience with sensor fusion involving LiDAR, cameras, IMU, and GNSS/RTK.
- Strong quantitative foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, estimation theory, and optimization.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary autonomy environment with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
