Location: New York, Poland, London, Paris, Toronto, Atlanta
Workplace: Remote
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own core areas of the localization stack (state estimation, 3D mapping/map maintenance, or sensor calibration) and drive production reliability on real hardware at active airports.
  • •Contribute across the localization and mapping pipeline: sensor integration, performance tuning, regression testing, and deployment to new operating environments.
  • •Design and build online validation to monitor localization integrity and cross-sensor consistency, detect drift, and integrate with the vehicle safety architecture.
  • •Develop tooling for diagnostics, health logging, and post-mission analysis across the localization stack.
  • •Support regression, validation, and release-gating approaches for localization changes deployed to active airports.

Key Requirements

  • •8+ years in robotics or autonomous vehicles, with experience owning localization/state-estimation through production deployment on real hardware.
  • •Deep practical grounding in multi-sensor fusion and state estimation using LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, and cameras.
  • •Demonstrated technical leadership by driving architecture across teams and setting direction on hard estimation problems.
  • •Strong experience with non-linear optimization (Ceres, GTSAM, g2o) and/or filtering (EKF, UKF), with judgment on appropriate methods.
  • •BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical/Mechanical Engineering (or related field).
