About the job
Develop and productionize on-vehicle online calibration software for autonomous vehicles, with a focus on reliable estimation, efficient runtime performance, and fleet-level observability.
What you'll do
- Extend and integrate online calibration and estimation components for continuous or on-demand onboard execution.
- Improve validation, persistence, interfaces, diagnostics, and observability across runtime and fleet systems.
- Profile and optimize performance, and build simulation, replay, bench, and on-vehicle tests.
What they ask for
- Practical expertise in sensor calibration, state estimation, or a closely related robotics domain.
- Understanding of filtering and estimation methods, such as Kalman-family filters, Bayesian estimation, smoothing, robust estimation, or factor-graph optimisation.
- Strong modern C++ skills and proficiency in Python.
- Experience productionising algorithm-heavy robotics software for vehicles, robots, drones, aerospace systems, or comparable edge platforms.
Nice to have
- Experience with visual odometry, SLAM, localisation, sensor fusion, ego-motion estimation, or geometric computer vision.
- Experience with hardware-accelerated robotics workloads, embedded Linux, edge-state management, automotive safety, or fault-injection testing.
