About the Role

You will own an onboard live-map estimator that fuses map priors with perception. You will build change detection, define map-trust interfaces, create evaluation and regression pipelines, and ship real-time C++ estimation software for embedded systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent
  • 5+ years of production software experience, including ownership of a shipped estimation core
  • Knowledge of factor graphs or filtering, data association, uncertainty propagation, and 3D geometry
  • Experience fusing map data, perception output, and raw sensors
  • Strong modern C++ experience for real-time embedded compute
  • Experience building ground-truth or metrics pipelines and preventing regressions
  • Experience defining systems and interfaces with consumer teams

Responsibilities

  • Own the onboard live-map estimator end to end
  • Build onboard map change detection from divergence between maps and perception
  • Define map-trust contracts, confidence semantics, and degraded-mode behavior
  • Build ground-truth, metrics, and regression-testing pipelines
  • Ship real-time C++ estimation code on embedded compute
  • Aggregate fleet divergence detections into map-freshness and correction pipelines

Benefits

  • Equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units
  • Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
  • 401k retirement benefits with employer match
  • Learning and wellness stipends
  • Paid time off
