About the job
Lead development of offline 3D reconstruction that turns vehicle sensor data from dynamic scenes into quality-assessed 3D geometry and best-estimate ego motion for validation, data enrichment, and model development.
What you'll do
- Develop offline 3D reconstruction using localization and mapping, state estimation, and sensor fusion.
- Produce reliable 3D ground-truth outputs from heterogeneous vehicle platforms and sensor suites.
- Work hands-on with robots and move between research exploration and engineering execution.
What they ask for
- Experience in robot manipulation and working with robot hardware.
- Experience with C++ and Python in robotics or ML environments.
- Strong robotics and machine learning fundamentals, with ability to translate research into robust systems.
Nice to have
- Publications in top-tier conferences such as ICRA, CoRL, or IROS.
- PhD preferred; MS acceptable with strong relevant experience.
