About the role

  • Be part of a multidisciplinary team of research scientists and engineers using an AI-first approach to enable safe self-driving at scale.
  • Design and develop advanced SLAM systems to create, automate, and optimize large-scale 3D map-building pipelines for autonomous trucking environments.
  • Implement robust, precise, and real-time onboard state estimation algorithms capable of maintaining accuracy and robustness under challenging conditions.
  • Build and refine deep-learning-based observation models that enable resilient 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 operational 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, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), or 3D vision theory and practice.
  • In-depth knowledge and extensive experience in deep learning, computer vision, and modern transformer architectures.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing SLAM/localization/3D vision systems in camera-based or LiDAR-based domains (or both) in real-world environments.
  • 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, multi-disciplinary autonomy environment with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
