Qualifications

  • Fluency in C++
  • Experience with pose estimation, SLAM, probabilistic filtering, and 3D data
  • Experience handling large data sets efficiently
  • Strong mathematical skills
  • 7+ years of industry experience in a related field

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with autonomous robots
  • Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. IMU, LiDAR, camera, odometry, radar)
  • Knowledge of computer vision techniques and machine learning
