Mapping & Localization Engineer
Serve Robotics- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates should possess a Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience. They must have extensive experience managing and leading engineers, a proven track record of shipping production software in localization or state estimation, and a deep understanding of SLAM, particularly state-of-the-art visual and visual-inertial SLAM. Fluency in C++ software engineering and algorithm skills in a Unix environment, along with advanced knowledge of software engineering principles including software design, source control management, build processes, code reviews, and testing methods, are also required.
As the Principal Engineer, Team Lead, the individual will define and execute localization projects to improve self-driving vehicle navigation, lead and manage a team of engineers, drive the strategy and roadmap for next-generation localization solutions, communicate strategies and progress to executive leadership, design and lead the implementation of localization solutions leveraging SLAM and ML, productionize and deploy solutions onto autonomous vehicle fleets, and collaborate with mapping, perception, integration, and systems teams to validate and enhance on-road performance.
Develops fully driverless robotaxis for urban transport
Motional develops fully driverless vehicles, specifically robotaxis, aimed at transforming urban transportation. Their all-electric robotaxis are designed to navigate complex city environments safely and efficiently. Motional partners with ride-hailing and delivery services, providing them with advanced autonomous vehicle technology to enhance their operations and reduce costs. A unique aspect of Motional's service is its Command Center, which allows for real-time tracking of each robotaxi, enabling human agents to monitor performance and ensure passenger safety. Unlike many competitors, Motional focuses on integrating its vehicles into existing mobility networks, making driverless technology accessible and reliable. The company's goal is to make autonomous vehicles a safe and integral part of urban transportation.
