Software Engineer (Calibration)

Join Applied, a leading company in the autonomous vehicle industry. As a Software Engineer specializing in calibration, you will design and build a calibration pipeline for our growing fleet of vehicles. Your work will be critical in ensuring that every vehicle can navigate the world using a multi-sensor, multi-modal representation. You will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art algorithms and contribute to the advancement of autonomous systems.

• Implement a software pipeline for calibrating sensor intrinsic and extrinsic parameters for various vehicles.
• Design processes to manage the lifecycle and deployment of calibrations, including data collection, processing, and evaluation.
• Work across teams to interface closely with and contribute to the core calibration algorithm team at Applied.
• C++ and/or Python programming expertise
• 2+ years of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address practical engineering challenges
• Hands-on experience with one or more domain relevant algorithm, software framework or tools, such as calibration, middleware, benchmarking suites, data sets and related pipelines, or algorithmic libraries
• Passion for turning their software development expertise into solving real-world applications of autonomous system
• Willingness to learn and be a self starter, and can quickly become comfortable with new technical tools
• MSc in calibration, state-estimation, optimization, or closely related field
• Understanding of the core calibration concepts, world representations and transforms, optimization, the intersection of perception and state-estimation, and noise characteristics of various sensors
• Experience doing hands-on work in relevant state-of-the-art offline and online calibration algorithms, and experience with both early and late stage sensor fusion for state estimation
• Understanding of inertial and perception sensors, state of the art industry solutions, and common approaches for production systems
• Experience building and shipping software frameworks or tools that are used by others than the authors of the framework
