Software Engineer - Onboard Maps
Core
Own the onboard live-map estimator end-to-end, fusing HD map priors with live perception into a single real-time world estimate for autonomous systems.
Role type
Senior IC software engineer (state estimation & mapping)
Builds
Real-time fused world estimates, map change detection, and trust semantics for the onboard stack.
Domain
Autonomous driving / Robotics / State Estimation
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
State estimation (factor graphs, filtering, uncertainty propagation), 3D geometry and transforms, sensor fusion, modern C++, real-time embedded systems, evaluation pipelines, system architecture design
Preferred skills
Map change detection, HD map semantics, GTSAM, Lie group methods, degraded-mode design, MS/PhD in state estimation or SLAM
Technologies
C++, GTSAM, factor graphs
Responsibilities
Fuse HD map priors with live perception into a real-time world estimate; build map change detection to classify boundary shifts and road closures; define map trust contracts and confidence semantics; build evaluation backbone and regression testing pipelines; ship estimation code meeting real-time budgets on embedded compute; extend offboard loops to aggregate fleet divergence data.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
