Artificial Intelligence (AI)AutomotiveTransportationAutonomous VehiclesMachine Learning
Responsibilities
Be part of a multidisciplinary team of Engineers and Scientists working on a scalable system to produce fast, accurate calibration for a wide array of sensing modalities (e.g. camera, lidar, radar, IMU, GNSS)
Develop the next generation of calibration algorithms leveraging classical and learning-based approaches in 3D geometry with a focus on robustness, compute efficiency, and safety-critical accuracy
Design and implement real-time calibration integrity monitoring algorithms to ensure safe autonomous driving on a diverse fleet of vehicles
Coordinate large-scale deployment of the calibration of an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles
Qualification
Required
Deep knowledge in calibration problems. You have prior experience fusing multi-sensor systems, from posing and modeling hidden sensor parameters, to evaluating calibration quality. You should understand how to leverage classical algorithms (e.g. ICP, RQE, SLAM, visual and radar odometry) and learning-based approaches (e.g. NeRF, 3D Splatting) to solve the calibration problem
Understanding of sensor modelling. You know how various sensor modalities work from a physical perspective and understand how different modelling assumptions will impact data interpretation and the final calibration. You have the ability to investigate the calibration issues down to the sensor hardware level to root cause issues
Shipping Production Software. You have experience in reading and developing production quality software, versus only creating prototypes and proofs of concept
Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write efficient and maintainable code in a native language such as C++ or Rust (we use Rust), and are comfortable with Python interop
Preferred
Experience with building and managing complex data pipelines
Experience working on real-time state estimation integrity monitoring
Solid knowledge in performance profiling and optimization
Solid experience with concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing techniques for efficient computation
Publications in top-tier conferences or journals related to high-performance computing, image processing, computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, or self-driving technology
Benefits
Competitive compensation and equity awards.
Health and Wellness benefits encompassing Medical, Dental and Vision coverage (for full-time employees only).
Unlimited Vacation.
Flexible hours and Work from Home support.
Daily drinks, snacks and catered meals (when in office).
Regularly scheduled team building activities and social events both on-site, off-site & virtually.
