Job Description
The role involves designing and developing real-time visual odometry and localization systems for autonomous vehicles, integrating sensor data, and optimizing software for safe and accurate vehicle navigation in various environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop real-time Visual Odometry pipelines using camera inputs.
- Implement camera-based localization algorithms, including visual-inertial odometry, feature tracking, and motion estimation.
- Integrate VO systems with IMU, GPS, and other sensor data to improve pose estimation.
- Collaborate with mapping, perception, and control teams to integrate localization into the AV software stack.
- Develop and optimize high-performance, production-quality C code for embedded platforms.
- Analyze system performance across environmental conditions and improve reliability and accuracy.
- Participate in code reviews, mentor team members, and contribute to architectural decisions.
- Stay current with research in SLAM, VIO, and VO, and transition promising techniques into production.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of experience in robotics, computer vision, or autonomy.
- At least 3 years of experience specifically in Visual Odometry (VO) or Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO).
- Experience working on Autonomous Vehicle platforms, including development, testing, or deployment of AV systems.
- Expert proficiency in C, C++14, C++17, C++20, and modern software engineering best practices.
- Solid understanding of epipolar geometry, camera calibration, bundle adjustment, and optimization techniques.
- Hands-on experience with open-source VO/SLAM libraries such as ORB-SLAM, VINS-Fusion, OpenVINS, or similar.
- Experience working with ROS or ROS2, Linux development environments, and version control systems.
- Ability to design and develop real-time Visual Odometry pipelines using monocular, stereo, or RGB-D camera inputs.
- Ability to implement robust camera-based localization algorithms, including visual-inertial odometry, feature tracking, motion estimation, and scale recovery.
- Experience integrating VO systems with IMU, GPS, and other sensor data to enhance pose estimation accuracy and stability.
- Ability to analyze system performance in diverse environmental conditions and drive improvements for reliability, accuracy, and robustness.
