About the Team

Stack’s Calibration Team is comprised of world-class experts in state estimation and sensor calibration. The team plays a central role at the intersection of Autonomy and Hardware. The team is not only responsible for designing, implementing, and testing state-of-the-art state estimation techniques but also responsible for monitoring (and correcting) sensor calibration online with real-time safety guarantees.

We are seeking driven and enthusiastic software engineers to join the Calibration team at Stack. Our focus is on creating cutting-edge multi-sensor calibration pipelines for automated driving in the real world. Multi-sensor calibration is central to developing robust and safe autonomy systems. In this role, you will have the unique hands-on opportunity to design and implement scalable, real-time, and robust multi-sensor calibration algorithms. You will also be able to collaborate closely with multiple autonomy and operation teams.

What Success Looks Like

Responsibilities:

• Own the design, implementation, and testing of one or more multi-sensor calibration pipelines.
• Collaborate closely within and outside the team (hardware, autonomy, safety, etc.) to gather and align sensor calibration requirements.
• Lead the development and testing of multi-sensor calibration algorithms, including one or more of the following calibration problems: Camera-Camera, Camera-Lidar, Radar-Lidar, IMU-Vehicle, etc.
• Contribute to the development of automated sensor calibration, and calibration verification algorithms in the cloud.
• Contribute to the development of writing safety-critical and real-time C++ onboard.
• Maintain existing software APIs and pipelines.

Qualifications:

• Strong understanding of classical state-of-the-art state estimation algorithms in one or more of the areas of SLAM, filtering, optimization, geometric, continuous-time state estimation, or geometric computer vision.
• Excellent performance-oriented C++ engineering skills.
• Experience with automated driving.
• Experience working with a GPU (cuda).
• Experience in Deep Learning pipelines.
• PhD (or 5+ years of experience) in state estimation fields, such as Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering.
