Job Title: Senior/Staff Software Engineer - Lidar Localization
Job Location: Foster City, CA
Job Listing URL: https://jobs.lever.co/zoox/a7085c68-183b-4575-a9ac-890317e47848
Job Description: Our Calibration, Localization, and Mapping (CLAMS) team is responsible for building the algorithms and tools necessary for keeping Zoox vehicles well calibrated, always knowing where they’re located within the world, and aware of their environment. Without precise calibration, localization, and mapping our vehicles would be at a disadvantage when it comes to perceiving and reasoning about the surrounding world, and is therefore foundational in enabling results from many other teams across Zoox. This work is critical for scaling autonomous driving in a safe and reliable way. Together with the team, you will leverage lidar data to develop novel localization algorithms that will help solve challenging edge cases.
In this role, you will:
Investigate and develop rigorous, cutting-edge solutions to challenging, real world localization and pose estimation problems
Solve algorithmic problems that will allow Zoox to build a robust and safety-critical localization and pose system
Increase stability and reliability of our fused global and odometric sensor data, to create a highly-accurate global position estimate
Identify and mitigate failures of the position estimation system, e.g. driving outside nominal environments or during sensor failures
Qualifications
8+ years of experience in a related field
Fluency in C++
Experience with pose estimation, SLAM, probabilistic filtering, and 3D data
Experience with LiDAR
Strong mathematical skills
Bonus Qualifications
Experience with machine learning
Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. IMU, LiDAR, camera, odometry, radar)
Experience with 3D data and representations (pointclouds, meshes, etc.)
