About the role

Mapping Specialists create and refine high definition HD maps for autonomous vehicles, using point clouds, imagery, and geospatial data to support L4 autonomous vehicle operations. The role involves digitizing road networks, applying mapping specifications, and collaborating with software engineers in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

Responsibilities

  • Create, edit, and maintain HD maps to support L4 autonomous vehicle operations.
  • Digitize road network geometry, semantic attributes, and related infrastructure from lidar point clouds, high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, street-level imagery, and other geospatial inputs.
  • Apply detailed mapping specifications to ensure high accuracy, completeness, and consistency of map data.
  • Contribute to multiple revision cycles based on internal technical acceptance criteria (e.g., validation, performance, robustness, system integration).
  • Triage, troubleshoot, and root cause map-related disengagement issues
  • Provide structured feedback to improve internal tooling, workflows, and mapping specifications.
  • Collaborate with software engineers using Git, GitHub, Jira, Google Workspace apps (Docs and Sheets) and Slack.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in map creation and maintenance, ideally in a relevant field such as autonomous vehicle mapping, GIS, or 3D game design
  • Bachelor's Degree or higher education
  • A strong understanding of lane-level geometry at CM precision, routing, and HD (High-Definition) map structures used in autonomous driving.
  • Experience working with point cloud data, 3D visualization environments, or lidar-based annotation tools
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow precise digitization protocols
  • Comfortable with repetitive, accuracy-focused tasks and versioned map delivery
  • Self-sufficient and organized in remote, asynchronous, fast paced work environment
