About the Role
You will define the architecture and roadmap for offline 3D reconstruction. You will develop prototypes and production systems, establish technical interfaces and quality standards, collaborate with specialist teams, mentor engineers, and communicate technical trade-offs, risks, and progress.
Requirements
- Expertise in SLAM, 3D reconstruction, mapping, state estimation, or related robotics and perception fields
- Experience with lidar reconstruction, point-cloud registration, pose estimation, and robotics sensor data
- Experience building offline reconstruction, mapping, or perception systems at scale
- Software engineering skills in C++ and Python
- Experience moving research or prototype algorithms into production systems
- Technical strategy, roadmap, and cross-functional leadership experience
- Knowledge of sensor calibration, timing, synchronization, and quality issues
Responsibilities
- Define the technical architecture and roadmap for the offline 3D reconstruction system
- Lead MVP development and transition successful capabilities into an internal platform
- Establish technical interfaces, output representations, and tools for internal users
- Align requirements, resources, and ownership with cross-functional teams
- Set and validate standards for reconstruction quality, failure analysis, uncertainty measurement, and dataset suitability
- Mentor engineers contributing to 3D reconstruction
- Communicate technical trade-offs, limitations, and progress to stakeholders
Benefits
- Hybrid working arrangement
- Core working hours with schedule flexibility
