  • Provide technical mentorship and thought leadership, elevating engineering practices, and fostering innovation across teams.  

  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering groups, ensuring seamless integration of localization, sensor alignment, and other capabilities into autonomous vehicle systems.  

  • Influence technical roadmaps, shaping strategic priorities aligned with company objectives and product milestones.  

Your Skills & Abilities:   

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.  

  • 8-10+ years of extensive experience developing and deploying advanced state estimation and/or sensor calibration systems, particularly in real-time onboard applications.  

  • Proven track record as a technical leader and expert in sensor calibration, state estimation, and/or localization, operating on a wide variety of sensor inputs to perform robustly within safety-critical systems.  

  • Strong software engineering proficiency, particularly in C++ and Python, alongside extensive hands-on experience with development, integration, and testing tools. 

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and mentoring abilities, comfortable influencing technical strategy and guiding engineering excellence across the organization.  

Bonus:

AV/ADAS experience is a big plus
