About the role
The Localization team at Waabi is responsible for answering one of the most critical questions in autonomous driving: exactly where is the vehicle right now? As a Senior or Staff Software Engineer on the Localization team, you will be a domain expert architecting the highly precise, robust state estimation systems that keep our robotaxis and 80,000lb trucks safely on the road.
What they're looking for
- - BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Aerospace/Electrical Engineering, or related field, with a minimum for 5 years of industry experience
- - Deep, rigorous domain expertise in probabilistic robotics, state estimation, and 3D geometry (Gaussian estimation, filtering, smoothing, and mapping)
- - Proven experience building and optimizing online and/or offline Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems, including deep knowledge of point-cloud registration algorithms (e.g. ICP)
- - Extensive hands-on experience processing and fusing data from physical sensors (IMU, LiDAR, Radar, GNSS, etc.)
- - Exceptional systems-level programming skills in modern C++ and/or Rust, with a strong understanding of memory management, concurrency, and real-time computing constraints
- - Proficiency in python for data analysis, prototyping, and tooling
