- Pose-graph optimization
- Nonlinear least-squares optimization
- Surface reconstruction
- Lidar-based SLAM or mapping
- Linear algebra
- Spatial transforms
- Numerical optimization
- Probability
- Data-quality debugging
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and own geometric map-generation algorithms
- Optimize sensors, pose graphs, and multi-modal alignment
- Identify failure modes and ship algorithmic fixes
- Improve runtime and scalability of distributed map-build pipelines
- Define data contracts and integration requirements with neighboring teams
Benefits
- Annual bonus
- Equity compensation
