Staff Software Engineer, Localization

📋 Description

• Take ownership of one or more core areas of the localization stack (LiDAR-inertial-GNSS state
• Contribute across the broader localization and mapping pipeline from sensor integration
• Help design and build online validation that monitors localization integrity and cross-sensor
• Develop tooling for diagnostics, health logging, and post-mission analysis across the stack
• Contribute to the regression, validation, and release-gating approach for localization changes
• Deploy, test, and iterate using data from real autonomous operations

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in robotics or autonomous vehicles, with a track record of owning localization or
• Deep practical grounding in multi-sensor fusion and state estimation across LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, and
• Demonstrated technical leadership - driving architecture across teams, setting direction, and being
• Strong command of non-linear optimization (Ceres, GTSAM, g2o) and/or filtering (EKF, UKF), with the
• Strong modern C++ (C++17+) and deep working experience with Linux and ROS/ROS2
• Understanding of how calibration quality propagates through localization and perception, and how

🎁 Benefits

• MS or PhD with a focus on localization, state estimation, or calibration
• Hands-on experience with multi-sensor calibration - intrinsic, extrinsic, and temporal
• Experience with factor graphs, graph-based SLAM, or open-source tools like GLIM, LIO-SAM
