About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the design and architecture for a scalable sensor calibration pipeline in C++, leveraging available libraries (OpenCV, linear algebra libraries) for real-time and offline calibration
Deep expertise in linear algebra to lead the design and implementation of spatial computational system for multi-modals sensor platforms
Lead the development of specialized dedicated libraries allowing sensor-to-sensor extrinsic calibration (lidar-camera, imu-lidar, etc.) using multi-sensor targetless detections during robotics missions
Experience with camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration
Drive the design and maintenance of simulation tools and data pipelines for sensor modeling, calibration validation, and large-scale regression testing
Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, simulation, and platform teams to define calibration requirements, set best practices, and ensure robustness across hardware configurations and software releases
Establish and maintain CI/CD-integrated calibration workflows using Docker, Bazel, and Git to enable reproducible, automated testing and deployment
Lead deep-dive debugging and root-cause analysis of complex sensor alignment issues in vehicle logs and simulation using ROS tools, rviz, and custom visualization utilities
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical reviews, fostering a culture of high-quality software design and code excellence
