Job Description

As a member of the State Estimation team, you will conduct research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and machine perception. You will develop cutting-edge tech that provides robust, accurate estimates of vehicle pose and surroundings at all times in virtually any environment. Your core challenge will be creating self-improving systems that fuse state-of-the-art sensors and algorithms to keep our robots self-aware with limited compute.

What you’ll do:

• Research and develop world-class state estimation, mapping, and artificial intelligence algorithms
• Enhance sensor models within a state-of-the-art simulation environment 
• Work in a fast-paced, collaborative, continuous development environment, enhancing analysis and benchmarking capabilities

Projects that you might work on:

• Develop a new sensor front-end for the state estimator. First, deeply understand the sensor model and the various use-cases for the sensor. Then, incorporate that information alongside other sensors to produce an accurate and consistent overall state estimate.

Required Qualifications:

• S. in Computer Science or related quantitative science with 2+ years of professional experience in state estimation, perception, or similar robotic field
• Experience working in a collaborative development environment including continuous integration and delivery
• Familiarity with high-fidelity simulation and sensor modeling 
• Experience prototyping a feature in a high-level language like MATLAB and transitioning it to production code 
• A solid foundation in theory related to probabilistic robotics, compute vision, and signal processing. 
• A demonstrated record of working hard, being a trustworthy teammate, holding yourself and others to high standards, and being kind to others
