As a Principal Engineer on our Mapping and Localization team, you will design and implement high-fidelity fusion algorithms that combine LiDAR, Radar, Camera, IMU, and GNSS data with HD Maps to achieve centimeter-level accuracy. You will tackle the hardest edge cases—from GPS-denied tunnels to dynamic construction zones—ensuring our vehicles operate safely in complex L4 ODDs (Operational Design Domains).
Job Responsibility:
Lead the design and evolution of our localization architecture, making critical build-vs-buy decisions and defining long-term technical roadmaps
Design and implement robust, real-time algorithms for sensor fusion, visual/LiDAR odometry, and global localization using techniques like Factor Graphs, EKF/UKF, and particle filters
Develop pipelines to generate, maintain, and query High-Definition (HD) maps
Work on 'priors-based' localization and semantic map matching
Solve the 'stale map' problem by designing systems for change detection. You will use fleet data to identify construction zones, lane shifts, or new signage and update the map in near real-time. Maintain and continuously update large-scale LiDAR-based HD maps to support autonomous driving systems
Optimize code for embedded compute constraints (latency, memory, and power) without sacrificing safety or accuracy
Provide self diagnosis capability for localization
Act as a technical mentor to senior and junior engineers, conducting rigorous code reviews and fostering a culture of engineering excellence
Requirements:
M.S. or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
7+ years of industry experience in robotics, with at least 4 years dedicated to production-level localization or mapping systems
Expert-level Modern C++ (14/17/20) skills, with a deep understanding of memory management, multi-threading, and real-time systems
Strong theoretical foundation in probabilistic robotics, including Kalman Filtering (EKF, UKF), nonlinear optimization (Ceres, g2o, GTSAM), and SLAM
Deep understanding of 3D geometry, linear algebra, and coordinate transformations (quaternions, SE(3))
Familiarity with Eigen, Ceres, PCL, OpenCV, GTSAM
Nice to have:
Experience shipping localization stacks for deployed autonomous vehicles or mobile robots
Hands-on experience with LOAM, lego-LOAM, ORB-SLAM, or VINS
Experience with CUDA/GPU programming or optimization for ARM-based embedded platforms
What we offer:
Work, learn and grow in a highly future-oriented, innovative and dynamic field
Wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development
Catered free lunch, unlimited snacks and beverages
Highly competitive salary and benefits package, including 401(k) plan
