Robotics AI Engineer – Calibration, Localization, and Mapping

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design and implement state-of-the-art calibration, localization, and mapping algorithms for our autonomous quadrupeds and humanoids
• Develop various tools and metrics to continuously validate and benchmark the performance of our various subsystems
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code in C++ and Python
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate and deploy your algorithms into real-world systems

Job requirements

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with expertise in calibration, localization, and/or 3D mapping
• Strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, probability theory, numerical optimization, 3D geometry, Lie theory, and 3D kinematics
• Strong theoretical understanding and practical experience with different linear and non-linear state estimation frameworks for sensor fusion
• Familiarity with state-of-the-art LiDAR-inertial odometry and SLAM algorithms
• Familiarity with state-of-the-art visual-inertial odometry and SLAM algorithms
• Experience with sensor calibration (intrinsics and extrinsics) and time synchronization
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python and modern best practices, with the ability to write maintainable and efficient code
• Strong understanding how ROS works and experience with designing, building, and deploying your own nodes into a complex robotic system
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and being able to work independently while managing multiple priorities
• Strong work ethic, highly self-motivated, and excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Publications and/or patents in calibration, state estimation, odometry, and/or SLAM
• Experience working with noisy sensor measurements and designing outlier-resilient algorithms
• Experience working with computationally constrained platforms and designing efficient, real-time algorithms with low computational complexity
• Experience with other sensing modalities (e.g., radar, doppler-LiDAR, GPS, etc.)
• Experience with modern version control and project management tools
