Software Engineer – Localization and Mapping

About the Team

Avride is a rapidly developing company in the autonomous vehicle and delivery robot industry. We develop autonomous vehicle technology from scratch, leveraging the strong technical background of our core team and over seven years of experience in autonomous vehicle development. The Localization team is responsible for providing precise rover location to all the components of the autonomous rover pipeline, like perception, behavior layer, and control. We calculate the position and the orientation of the rover with centimeter and fraction-of-a-degree accuracy, dozens of times per second, and in all conditions. Our most valuable asset is people, each with many years of experience in robotics, EKF, ICP, SLAM algorithms, distributed data processing, software architecture, and machine learning, working together as a motivated, effective, and friendly team.

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Develop the cloud mapping subsystem with graph optimization at its core.
• Develop the Sensor Fusion Localization subsystem, which combines the measurements of multiple sensors (LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, etc.) to calculate rover position to centimeter precision and orientation to 0.1-degree precision.
• Support sister development and operation teams on issues related to localization.

What You'll Need

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong C++ programming skills
• Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design patterns
• Solid soft skills — intra- and inter-team collaboration, business-driven development focus, planning and getting-things-done, effective and respectful communication
