## About the role

You’re an engineer who is ready to take one of the most difficult state estimation and mapping problems where algorithmic theory meets the messy, physical world. You have experience building production SLAM or state estimation systems that are proven to work on real hardware. You understand how localization algorithms behave under real-world constraints such as severe sensor vibration, track/wheel slip, GPS-denied environments, and featureless terrain.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of professional experience building SLAM, state estimation, or localization systems
- Strong mathematical foundation in 3D geometry, linear algebra, probabilistic robotics, kinematics, and optimization
- Deep expertise in modern state estimation techniques (e.g., Extended/Unscented Kalman Filters, Particle Filters) and optimization frameworks (e.g., GTSAM, Ceres Solver, g2o)
- Hands-on experience developing and maintaining automated sensor calibration pipelines (intrinsic, extrinsic, and spatio-temporal) for multi-sensor suites (LiDAR, Camera, IMU, GNSS)
- Exceptional programming ability in modern C++ (C++14/17 and beyond) and Python for tooling/analysis
