Senior SLAM and Localization Engineer

We are looking for a Senior SLAM and Localization Engineer to design the algorithms that let our autonomous vehicles know where they are — fusing LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, IMU and HD maps into robust, real-time localization.

Role Responsibilities

  • Design and develop SLAM and localization algorithms for autonomous vehicle navigation and positioning.
  • Develop key capabilities including sensor fusion, state estimation, mapping, and real-time vehicle localization.
  • Work on multiple autonomous driving stacks including urban, closed community, and off-road environments.
  • Integrate LiDAR, cameras, GNSS, IMU, and HD maps data to achieve robust and accurate localization.

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in SLAM and localization.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of SLAM, localization, and sensor fusion algorithms.
  • Hands-on experience with LiDAR-based and visual SLAM systems.
  • Sensor fusion and state estimation (GNSS, IMU, LiDAR, cameras).
  • Mapping and localization pipelines.
  • Coordinate transformations and 3D geometry.
  • Kalman Filters (EKF/UKF) or factor graph optimization.
  • HD mapping and map-based localization.
  • Graph-based SLAM and optimization frameworks.
  • Strong programming skills in modern C++ 14/17.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working on autonomous driving or robotics localization systems.
  • Experience with multi-sensor synchronization and calibration.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2.
  • Experience integrating localization modules with perception and planning stacks.
  • Proven experience contributing to medium- to large-scale software systems using collaborative development practices (e.g., CI/CD, version control, and system integration workflows).
