Senior Robotics Engineer - Mapping & Localization - Remote

Overview

At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.

The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.

In Short

• Build a mapping system that scales to city-size environments.
• Collaborate to improve map annotation tooling and consumption of data by neural network based approaches for safe traversable area navigation.
• Fuse motion and position estimates to reduce uncertainty in global localization.
• Work closely with other autonomy team members to maximize the utility provided by mapping and localization.
• Ship production quality code, participate in code reviews, teach / mentor more junior engineers.

Requirements

• Master’s in Robotics focused in localization and mapping with 5+ years of experience or PhD with solid research background that can be applied to practical robotic solutions in localization and mapping.
• A deep understanding of SLAM systems.
• Strong C++ programming skills.
• The ability to design and build a simple system that works, and having it gradually evolve into an elegant system that scales.
• Strong verbal and writing communication skills.

Benefits

• Experience with real sensors, such as lidar, camera, RGB-D, etc.
• Experience with CUDA programming.
• Experience with very large geospatial datasets.
• Experience building cloud applications.
