We develop autonomous vehicle technology from scratch, leveraging the strong technical background of our core team and over seven years of experience in autonomous vehicle development. The Localization team is responsible for providing precise rover location to all the components of the autonomous rover pipeline, like perception, behavior layer, and control. We calculate the position and the orientation of the rover with centimeter and fraction-of-a-degree accuracy, dozens of times per second, and in all conditions.
Job responsibilities
- Develop the cloud mapping subsystem with graph optimization at its core.
- Develop the Sensor Fusion Localization subsystem, which combines the measurements of multiple sensors (LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, etc.) to calculate rover position to centimeter precision and orientation to 0.1-degree precision.
- Support sister development and operation teams on issues related to localization.
Job requirements
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong C++ programming skills
- Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design patterns
