Software Engineer - Calibration Platform
Applied Intuition· Vehicle OS
Sunnyvale$151k - $240kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
Role focused on building a self-service calibration platform to scale sensor calibration across a multi-platform fleet, enabling cloud workflow orchestration, automated data-health gates, and tooling for non-expert internal users within Applied Intuition’s Localization, Calibration, and Mapping team.
Responsibilities
- Own calibration across a growing multi-platform fleet: onboard new vehicle types, root-cause production failures, and convert what you learn into reusable workflows
- Drive cross-team work that raises the reliability of the entire calibration path — partner with build, hardware, and infrastructure teams to trace failures to their source
- Build and operate cloud workflow orchestration for calibration at fleet scale, from data collection through evaluation and deployment
- Design automated data-health gates that catch bad IMU/INS, GNSS/RTK, lidar, and camera data before it reaches the calibration path
- Ship production-quality tooling that non-expert internal users can run themselves
- Debug across the cloud/vehicle boundary — tracing root causes through orchestration and application logs one day, verifying how a sensor is actually wired the next
Qualifications
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 4+ years building and operating production software systems, with strong Python and modern C++
- Demonstrated ownership of a pipeline, platform, or internal tool that other teams depended on
- Hands-on depth with a cloud workflow orchestration framework (Flyte preferred; Airflow, Argo, etc.), plus CI/CD, containerization, and data pipelines over large binary or log data
- Strength in debugging systems from logs when the surface symptom is misleading
- Enough sensor and robotics data literacy to reason about validity: what good IMU/INS, GNSS/RTK, lidar, and camera data looks like, and how to design a check that catches bad data
- Experience with physical systems, sensors, or hardware-in-the-loop
- Automates recurring failures out of existence
