Principal Engineer • Lead

Who you are

You are a proven technical expert with a strong background in computer vision and machine learning, particularly in the context of autonomous driving technology. With extensive experience in developing software for geometric computer vision, you understand concepts such as geometric camera models, camera calibration, and feature detection. Your passion for Level 4 autonomous driving technology drives you to tackle intellectual challenges and pursue career growth in a fast-growing company.

You have hands-on experience with visual simultaneous localization and mapping (VSLAM) and structure from motion, allowing you to effectively contribute to projects that improve self-driving vehicles' capabilities. Your ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including LIDAR-based localization and mapping, enhances your effectiveness in delivering impactful solutions.

What you'll do

In this role, you will define, lead, and execute computer vision-based mapping projects that enhance the self-driving vehicles' ability to efficiently map roadways and localize themselves using vehicle and remote sensing data. You will develop methods to monitor changes in the environment and update maps accordingly, ensuring that our vehicles operate with the most accurate information available.

You will integrate visual maps with LIDAR-derived maps to create consistent fused world maps, which are crucial for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles. Your work will involve productionizing and deploying solutions onto autonomous vehicle fleets, ensuring that the technology is robust and reliable in real-world conditions.

Collaboration is key in this role, as you will work closely with LIDAR-based localization and mapping teams, as well as perception teams, to improve the on-road performance of our vehicles. Your contributions will directly impact the advancement of self-driving technology and its positive social implications.
