About the role

Role focused on building localization, mapping, and navigation systems for home robots, combining state estimation, sensor fusion, calibration, and perception to enable real-time understanding of robot pose and environment in dynamic indoor homes.

Responsibilities

  • Build production-grade vSLAM: Build and optimize Weave’s indoor vSLAM and localization system by fusing cameras, IMUs, wheel odometry, and other onboard sensors to deliver robust, real-time robot localization.
  • Develop sensor infrastructure: Build software infrastructure for sensor calibration, synchronization, and data fusion to ensure accurate, low-latency perception across the robot platform.
  • Own the localization stack: Architect localization and mapping from core estimation algorithms through sensor integration, enabling reliable operation in dynamic indoor environments.
  • Advance the state of the art: Explore and evaluate new approaches to localization and mapping, combining proven geometric methods with learned techniques and bringing promising research into production on real robots.
  • Optimize for the real world: Improve the robustness, computational efficiency, and power consumption of perception systems designed to operate continuously in customers’ homes.
  • Debug on real robots: Diagnose localization failures using logs, recorded sensor data, simulation, and deployed hardware, turning difficult real-world edge cases into systematic improvements.

Qualifications

  • Strong vSLAM expertise: 3+ years’ experience building vision-based SLAM and sensor calibration for real-world robotic applications.
  • State estimation fundamentals: Deep understanding of state estimation, sensor fusion, probabilistic estimation, and techniques such as Kalman filtering, factor graphs, bundle adjustment, or nonlinear optimization.
  • Multi-sensor systems experience: Strong experience with multi-sensor calibration, time synchronization, and integrating cameras, IMUs, odometry and/or LiDAR into robust perception pipelines operating within strict realtime constraints.
  • Excellent software engineering skills: Experience writing production-quality software in C++ or Python. Experience with ROS, embedded systems, or high-performance inference frameworks is a plus.
