Sr. Calibration, Mapping & Localization Engineer

The role

This role builds the calibration, mapping, and localization stack for a multi-vehicle-class fleet. The engineer will design sensor calibration systems, mapping pipelines, and localization algorithms.

What you will do

• Design and implement sensor calibration systems for factory and in-field use
• Build and maintain mapping pipelines, including map creation, versioning, and drift detection
• Develop and improve localization algorithms, including sensor fusion, odometry, and SLAM
• Define accuracy, latency, and reliability requirements for outputs consumed by downstream teams
• Build tooling to validate calibration and localization quality at fleet scale
• Diagnose and resolve calibration and localization failures from on-road and simulation testing

Required qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to take difficult technical problems from ambiguity to successful deployment
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, EE, Mathematics, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in sensor calibration, SLAM, mapping, localization, or multi-sensor fusion
• Strong grasp of estimation theory, including Kalman filters, factor graphs, or optimization-based fusion
• Strong software engineering skills in C++ and/or Python
• Track record of leading projects from concept through deployment

Nice to have

• Autonomous driving or robotics background across multiple vehicle classes
• Experience with HD map creation and maintenance pipelines at scale
• Experience with LiDAR, camera, or radar extrinsic calibration in production vehicles
• Familiarity with functional safety requirements such as ISO 26262

Before you apply

• Application Review
• Coding Test
• 1st interview
• 2nd interview
• Offer Negotiation
