Role
Who you are
- Passion for building a best in class mapping and localization system that is absolutely reliable for highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments
- MSc in mapping, localization, or closely related field
- 3+ yrs of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address real-world mapping and localization challenges
- Hands-on experience with more than one domain relevant software framework or tools, such as middlewares, benchmarking suites, data sets and related pipelines, or algorithmic libraries
- Deeper understanding of the core localization concepts, world representations and transforms, the intersection of mapping of localization, and error analysis and characterization
- Knowledge about how to analyze and compare the performance of various hardware solutions for localization
- C++ and/or Python programming expertise
Desirable
- PhD in mapping, localization, or closely related field
- Deep hands-on expertise in relevant algorithms or methods, such as SLAM, probabilistic filtering, non-linear optimization, computational geometry, numerical analysis, or distributed systems
- Experience with large-scale data processing using frameworks
- Deep understanding of sensors used for localization, state of the art industry solutions, and common approaches for production systems
What the job involves
- Design and implement a top-notch mapping and localization system capable of running on a variety of off-road vehicles, providing lifelong mapping and localization in dynamic environments
- Design and implement foundations and cutting-edge tools for users to lean heavily on mapping and localization data, for drivers inside the vehicle and for operators managing fleets and operations
- Build backend infrastructure for storing and processing many forms of map data
- Applying automated techniques to generate maps from raw data, improving our internal tools for viewing and editing maps
- Scaling our systems to support mapping the world by developing robust localization algorithms that use inertial sensors, magnetometers, GNSS, differential antennas, real-time kinematic, and other various localization sensors and solutions
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Autonomous vehicles present a lot of challenging problems to engineers, particularly in terms of safety and reliability, and testing and development can be infamously slow. Applied Intuition provides software to run simulations and tests for autonomous vehicles more quickly and effectively, speeding up the development and launch of AVs for multiple industries.
With big companies such as Tesla and Google focused on developing automation, Applied Intuition has the scope to provide the software that makes it a reality. The company’s suite of simulation, validation, and drive log management software aids in the more efficient deployment of autonomous vehicles, with companies such as Toyota, Nissan, and General Motors relying on its solutions.
As the autonomous vehicles market accelerates, Applied Intuition is well set for growth, especially as it continues to expand its capabilities. Notable developments include the acquisitions of CarSim, Scenebox and Embark Trucks, as well as partnerships with AMBA and Valeo. All these efforts seek to bolster the company's offering towards supporting the faster and safer deployment of AVs.
