Job Level
About the role
- Design and implement scalable sensor calibration pipelines in Python and C++, leveraging OpenCV, ROS, and linear algebra libraries for real-time and offline calibration.
- Develop tools to perform and automate camera intrinsic calibration, Lidar-to-camera, and IMU-to-camera extrinsic calibration.
- Apply mathematical rigor using Lie groups, quaternions, and 3D transformations to support accurate calibration and registration.
- Build and maintain simulation tools and data pipelines for sensor modeling and calibration validation.
- Work closely with perception, simulation, and platform teams to ensure calibration accuracy across hardware configurations and software versions.
- Utilize Docker, Bazel, and Git to develop reproducible, containerized calibration workflows integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Debug sensor alignment issues in vehicle logs and simulation using ROS tools, rviz, and custom visualizers.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 6+ years of experience (or a Master’s Degree with 4+ years of experience).
- Proficiency in Python and C++ for tool development and algorithm implementation.
- Experience with OpenCV, ROS, and numerical libraries for computer vision and robotics.
- Experience working with sensors and sensor data across multiple modalities.
- Strong understanding of camera intrinsic/extrinsic models, sensor alignment, and coordinate frame transformations.
- Familiarity with Lidar, IMU, and multi-sensor calibration, especially in robotics or autonomous systems.
- Solid grasp of 3D geometry, non-linear optimization, and matrix math, including SE(3) and SO(3) representations.
- Comfort working in Linux development environments, using Git, Docker, and command-line tools.
Benefits
- A competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees
- 401K plan with a 6% employer match
- Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date)
- Company-wide holiday office closures
- AD+D and Life Insurance
