Job Description

We envision a world where robots serve as a human multiplier for dull and dangerous work. The warehousing industry, our initial area of focus, sees more than 52,000 cases of injuries every year in the US. Our first product is an automated trailer unloader that quickly demonstrates measurable value to our users by both improving efficiency while also increasing safety. By empowering people to do more with less, we can help grow the economy, create better-paying jobs, and generate revenue to fund social services. 

We are hiring a senior SLAM engineer to build our next generation of scalable solutions that can guide our autonomous forklifts in dynamic, semi-structured environments. In this role you will adapt modern research to robustly solve challenging problems in SLAM and robot localization using a combination of computer vision and point cloud data, working alongside a close-knit team of industry-leading roboticist and software engineers.

Duties:

• Design and build components of a modern SLAM system
• Develop and maintain robust sensor calibration routines
• Work with other engineers as part of a close-knit team
• Participate in production on-call support rotations
• Travel to customer sites for field immersion at least 2x / year

Minimum requirements:

• 2 Years experience working on localization or SLAM systems. 
• Proficient understanding of computer vision, state estimation, 3D geometry and linear and non-linear optimization methods
• Expertise in C++ and python

Bonus:

• MS or PHD in robotics ideally with a concentration on SLAM or Computer Vision
• Expertise in one or more SLAM related areas such as visual and / or LiDAR SLAM, semantic SLAM, and VIO
• Understanding of CERES or g2o
• At least 3 year workings on SLAM systems in the industry
• Knowledge of deep local features
• Experience working with multi modal SLAM systems
• Object detection and instance segmentation
• Multi sensor extrinsic calibration experience
