About the Role

We are looking for a software engineer with expertise in mapping and localization for autonomous vehicles or mobile robots.

Your contributions will focus on building a mapping and localization system for an off-road vehicle for autonomous and advanced driver-assistance use cases.

You will also help our simulation and tooling team to build out key capabilities for experts who develop and deploy mapping and localization systems.

In addition to your engineering contributions, by working in our dynamic and customer-focused team culture, you will be a key contributor for a new business that builds on and informs best practices in the nascent autonomy industry.

We move fast and we focus on excellence, for our products and for our business.

If you are hands-on and looking for a place to have a multiplying effect on making autonomous systems a reality, Applied is the place for you!

We are hiring for all levels.

At Applied, you will

  • Design and implement a top-notch mapping and localization system capable of running on a variety of off-road vehicles, providing lifelong mapping and localization in dynamic environments
  • Design and implement foundations and cutting-edge tools for users to lean heavily on mapping and localization data, for drivers inside the vehicle and for operators managing fleets and operations
  • Build backend infrastructure for storing and processing many forms of map data
  • Applying automated techniques to generate maps from raw dataImproving our internal tools for viewing and editing maps
  • Scaling our systems to support mapping the worldDevelop robust localization algorithms that use inertial sensors, magnetometers, GNSS, differential antennas, real-time kinematic, and other various localization sensors and solutions.

We’re looking for someone who

  • Passionate about building a best in class mapping and localization system that is absolutely reliable for highly dynamic operations in demanding real-world environments
  • MSc in mapping, localization, or closely related field
  • 3+ yrs of experience building software components or (sub) systems that address real-world mapping and localization challenges
  • Has hands-on experience with more than one domain relevant software framework or tools, such as middlewares, benchmarking suites, data sets and related pipelines, or algorithmic libraries
  • Has a deeper understanding of the core localization concepts, world representations and transforms, the intersection of mapping of localization, and error analysis and characterization
  • Understand how to analyze and compare the performance of various hardware solutions for localizationC++ and/or Python programming expertise.

Nice to have

  • PhD in mapping, localization, or closely related field
  • Deep hands-on expertise in relevant algorithms or methods, such as SLAM, probabilistic filtering, non-linear optimization, computational geometry, numerical analysis, distributed systems
  • Experience with large-scale data processing using frameworks
  • Deep understanding of sensors used for localization, the state of the art industry solutions and common approaches for production systems
