About the role

A principal technical IC role focusing on localization and mapping for autonomous logistics vehicles, leading research roadmap, tool development, scalable map generation, simulation regression, and live autonomy stack modules for driverless trucks in complex logistics yards.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of localization and mapping systems for autonomous logistics vehicles
  • Architect scalable and automated HD map generation, maintenance, regression and deployment pipelines
  • Develop robust multi-sensor localization solutions using LiDAR, GNSS, IMU, cameras, and wheel odometry
  • Improve localization accuracy and reliability in GPS-denied or dynamic industrial environments with GPS interference.
  • Define software architecture, performance metrics, testing strategies, and deployment standards
  • Collaborate with perception, planning, systems, software infrastructure, and data software & services teams to integrate localization and maps into the autonomy stack
  • Drive technical roadmap, project prioritization, and engineering execution
  • Support field testing, debugging, and deployment activities

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on localization and/or mapping for autonomous systems
  • 7+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or localization/mapping systems
  • Strong proficiency in C++, GPU programming, and experience with real-time robotic systems (preferably familiar with ROS/ROS2)
  • Deep understanding of SLAM algorithms
  • Sensor fusion including Lidar, Camera, GNSS-INS
  • State estimation including Kalman Filters
  • Lidar and visual odometry methods
  • HD mapping systems, including tool development and data pipelines
  • Machine learning approaches for localization and map features/semantics
  • Sensor calibration and degradations/maintenance in real outdoor robotics deployments
  • Safety critical software development processes including simulation regression testing and fleet-scale release validation
  • Influence & Mentorship: Demonstrated experience mentoring junior/mid-level engineers, guiding technical direction, and contributing to organizational growth through technical excellence
  • Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills for working across multidisciplinary teams and influencing technical direction
