The 3D Mapping team is seeking a Software Engineer to help tackle all the challenging mapping scenarios our cities have to offer, including highway mapping and mapping under difficult environment conditions. This work is critical for scaling autonomous driving in a safe and reliable way. We are looking for engineers who are ambitious and excited about helping Zoox deliver on its goals to deliver autonomous mobility.
In this role, you will:
- Design, develop, and validate mapping algorithms for cities and highway driving.
- Collaborate in building a highly automated, scalable, multi-modality, 3D mapping system.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and technical roadmaps.
- Contribute to all phases of the software development cycle including prototyping, requirements capture, design, implementation, and validation.
Qualifications:
- M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Proficient in C++ and Python
- Experience with factor graphs, pose estimation, SLAM, probabilistic filtering, and 3D data
- Strong mathematical skills
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience with autonomous robots
- Experience with real-time sensor fusion (e.g., IMU, LiDAR, camera, GNSS)
- Experience working with geospatial data and coordinate systems
