Motional is looking for an Engineer to define, lead, and execute computer-vision based mapping projects for our self-driving vehicle fleet. You will be instrumental in developing technology that makes transportation safer and more equitable.
What You'll Do
- Define, lead and execute computer-vision based mapping projects that improve self-driving vehicles’ capability to efficiently map roadways and localize itself using vehicle and remote sensing data.
- Develop methods to monitor changes to the environment and update maps accordingly.
- Integrate visual maps with LIDAR-derived maps to create consistent fused world maps.
- Productionize and deploy solutions onto autonomous vehicle fleets.
- Collaborate with LIDAR-based localization and mapping, and perception teams to improve vehicle on-road performance.
What We're Looking For
- Experience developing software for geometric computer vision - geometric camera models, camera calibration, fundamental / essential matrices, the epipolar constraint, feature detection and matching, triangulation.
- Experience with visual simultaneous localization and mapping (VSLAM), structure from motion, visual-inertial SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, and large-scale bundle adjustment/factor graph optimization at scale.
- Proven track record of designing, developing and deploying 3D computer vision solutions for autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, robotics or related applications.
- Masters or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related technical field; or equivalent industry experience.
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Advanced knowledge of software engineering principles including software design, source control management, build processes, code reviews, testing methods.
- Extensive experience in metrics design and metrics driven technology development.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong programming skills in C++.
- Proven track record of publications in relevant conferences (CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, ICCV, WACV, AAAI, ICL, etc.).
Nice to Have
- Experience with multi-modality, multi-sensor fusion-based mapping, e.g. visual + LIDAR-based mapping.
- Remote sensing experience including geospatial coordinate frames, RPC camera models.
- Strong python programming skills.
- Experience training ML models using PyTorch or other libraries.
Technical Stack
- C++
- Python
- PyTorch
