## About the role

ML-first does not mean ML-only: every model this team ships depends on a vehicle that knows precisely where its sensors are, where it is in the world, and how confident it can be in both. This role owns that foundation, building the calibration, mapping, and localization stack that every perception and planning model is built on top of, across a multi-vehicle-class fleet spanning passenger vehicles, robotaxis, buses, and trucks. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- A demonstrated ability to take difficult technical problems from ambiguity to successful deployment
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, EE, Mathematics, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in sensor calibration, SLAM, mapping, localization, or multi-sensor fusion
- Strong grasp of estimation theory, including Kalman filters, factor graphs, or optimization-based fusion
- Strong software engineering skills in C++ and/or Python, with a track record of leading projects from concept through deployment
- Autonomous driving or robotics background across multiple vehicle classes
