Responsibilities
Develop, implement, and refine calibration algorithms and methodologies for intrinsic and extrinsic parameters across multiple sensor types, including cameras, LiDARs, radars, IMUs, GNSS, and other perception sensors
Design, automate, and maintain offline (static in factory/lab) and online (dynamic in-field odometry) calibration workflows and pipelines, with a focus on robustness, repeatability, and scalability
Develop and configure physical calibration rigs and procedures for static and dynamic calibration, including vehicle-motion–based routines
Detect sensor mis-calibrations and build autonomous re-calibration capabilities using state estimation, odometry, and perception-driven methods
Define and implement test, validation, and quality processes to maintain calibration accuracy and consistency at scale across vehicle platforms
Collaborate closely with cross functional teams / projects such as Perception, Localization, SLAM, Mapping, Sensor Fusion, Hardware, Manufacturing, and Operations to integrate calibration into the broader autonomy stack
Contribute to and maintain the calibration codebase, integrating with localization pipelines, SLAM modules, and sensor fusion frameworks
Participate in mentoring junior engineers and driving technical excellence across calibration, perception, and localization domains
Work hands-on in lab and field test environments, including direct interaction with hardware, test vehicles, and diagnostic tools
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; PhD is a plus
5+ years of industry experience in sensor calibration, robotics, autonomous systems, perception, or localization (3+ with a Master's)
Strong expertise in multi-sensor calibration, geometric computer vision, extrinsic/intrinsic calibration, and state estimation
Hands-on experience calibrating cameras, LiDARs, radars, IMUs, GNSS, wheel-speed sensors, and other vehicle perception sensors
Strong communication and mentoring skills, with a passion for collaborative development and continuous learning
Willingness to travel to support build activities, field testing, and issue resolution
Preferred
Proficiency in C++ and Python
Familiarity with nonlinear optimization, state estimation, odometry, motion estimation, and sensor fusion principles
Ability to design and develop software pipelines and tools for calibration, sensor health monitoring, and diagnostic workflows
Experience with both offline factory calibration and online self-calibration techniques, including perception-driven and motion-based methods
Knowledge of calibration algorithms resilient to temperature, vibration, and environmental variations
Experience with HIL, EOL, simulation environments, or tooling used for calibration validation and sensor modeling
Direct experience with SLAM, SfM (Structure-from-Motion), localization, mapping, multi-view geometry, or autonomous driving development
Understanding of sensor noise models, time synchronization, coordinate frames, and world representation transforms
Experience building and shipping reusable software tools, frameworks, or libraries used by cross-functional engineering teams
Strong communication and mentoring skills, with a passion for collaborative development and continuous learning
