As the Senior Mapping and Localization Engineer, you will contribute to GPR's efforts around key algorithmic and engineering decisions for our radar-based map and sensor fusion-based localization algorithms. Your work will involve developing and innovating in the field of Radar-based Localization.
Description
WHO YOU ARE + WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop and refine radar and multi-sensor-based mapping and localization algorithms for autonomous vehicle and mobile robotic applications.
- Understand key technical and performance trade-offs for Radar-based Localization.
- Contribute to building the Software stack to run our autonomous vehicle.
- Support our current Autonomous Vehicle stack, and the interface with our localization.
- You’re comfortable thinking about the big picture and the small details. You enjoy making design and algorithmic decisions.
- Rapidly prototype to test and discard hypotheses.
- A “get-it-done” person. You know that done is better than perfect and are energized by constantly delivering and moving things forward.
- Enjoy working with small, high output teams in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Open-minded and collaborative team player with willingness to help others.
REQUIREMENTS
- Experience designing and developing, localization and mapping algorithms(SLAM, Visual Odometry, Global Retrieval, Feature Matching, etc).
- Experience working with multiple sensor modalities like Radar, camera, lidar, IMU etc.
- Mathematical fundamentals in Linear Algebra, Vector calculus, Probabilistic theory, and Mathematical Optimization along with relevant implementation experience.
- Prior experience in any of pose estimation, probabilistic filtering, SLAM, nonlinear optimization or similar robotics fields.
- 3 years or more experience working in applied Localization for Robotics/AV.
- Excellent C++ skills and experience with production software.
- This a hybrid role and the candidate is expected to be on-site 4 days a week.
NICE TO HAVE
- PhD or Masters in an autonomous vehicle mapping, localization, or sensor fusion related field or equivalent experience and knowledge.
- Experience with Real-Time application in resource constrained computing environments
- Experience working with radar data
- Expertise in Optimization Frameworks (g2o, CERES, iSAM,etc)
- Experience with ROS1/ROS2 or AV stacks
WORK
- All applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S.
- Must be able to work from our Charlestown, MA office 4 times a week.
