Staff Software Engineer, Localization

📋 Description Own localization stack areas (state estimation, mapping, calibration) to production reliability. Contribute to localization/mapping pipeline: sensor integration, tuning, testing, deployment. Design online validation to monitor integrity, cross-sensor consistency, drift, and safety integration. Develop diagnostics, health logging, and post-mission tooling across the stack. Contribute to regression/validation and release-gating for localization changes. Deploy, test, and iterate with data from real autonomous operations. 🎯 Requirements 8+ years in robotics/AVs; ownership of localization/state-estimation in production. Deep grounding in multi-sensor fusion across LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, cameras. Technical leadership driving architecture across teams on hard estimation problems. Strong command of non-linear optimization (Ceres, GTSAM, g2o) and EKF/UKF. Strong C++17+ and Linux/ROS/ROS2 experience. Understanding calibration quality and propagation of localization errors into safety. BS or MS in CS, Robotics, EE, or related field.
