Role Description

On our Spatial Intelligence Team, you’ll have the opportunity to work with world-class 3D computer vision and machine learning engineers, whose mission is to make self-driving vehicles a reality and to create a positive social impact. The team creates computer vision-derived world maps, fuses vision-derived maps with LIDAR-based maps, updates these maps as the world changes, and localizes autonomous vehicles within these maps in real-time. We are looking for proven technical experts who are passionate about Level 4 autonomous driving technology, excited by intellectual challenges, and are interested in pursuing career growth in a fast-growing company.

• Define, lead and execute computer-vision based mapping projects that improve our self-driving vehicles’ capability to efficiently map roadways and localize itself using vehicle and remote sensing data.
• Develop methods to monitor changes to the environment and update maps accordingly.
• Integrate visual maps with LIDAR-derived maps to create consistent fused world maps.
• Productionize and deploy solutions onto autonomous vehicle fleets.
• Collaborate with LIDAR-based localization and mapping, and perception teams to improve our vehicle’s on-road performance.

Qualifications

• Experience developing software for geometric computer vision - geometric camera models, camera calibration, fundamental/essential matrices, the epipolar constraint, feature detection and matching, triangulation.
• Experience with visual simultaneous localization and mapping (VSLAM), structure from motion, visual-inertial SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, and large-scale bundle adjustment/factor graph optimization at scale.
• Proven track record of designing, developing and deploying 3D computer vision solutions for autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, robotics or related applications.
• Masters or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related technical field; or equivalent industry experience.
• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Advanced knowledge of software engineering principles including software design, source control management, build processes, code reviews, testing methods.
• Extensive experience in metrics design and metrics driven technology development.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong programming skills in C++.
• Proven track record of publications in relevant conferences (CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, ICCV, WACV, AAAI, ICL, etc.).

Requirements

• Experience with multi-modality, multi-sensor fusion-based mapping, e.g. visual + LIDAR-based mapping.
• Remote sensing experience including geospatial coordinate frames, RPC camera models.
• Strong python programming skills.
• Experience training ML models using Pytorch or other libraries.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision insurance.
• 401k with a company match.
• Health saving accounts.
• Life insurance.
• Pet insurance.
• Additional forms of compensation such as a bonus or company equity.
