Senior Computer Vision Engineer
Bay Area (Hybrid)
Company: Autonomous driving startup that built cost-effective level 2/3 solutions to reduce the burden of everyday driving and make the roads safe for everyone
Position: Senior Computer Vision Engineer
We are seeking a talented software engineer with expertise in visual odometry and SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping). As a software engineer and researcher, you will work on real-world problems focused on visual odometry and the reconstruction of 3D environmental objects. You will deploy your solutions to camera-only autonomous vehicles driving on local and highways. This position requires both strong software development skills and broad knowledge in computer vision and machine learning.
What you’ll do
Integrate and implement real-time mapping and localization algorithms for outdoor applications.
Estimate the 3D location and trajectory of traffic objects in a monocular camera setup.
Simulate and test the algorithm in a ROS (Robot Operating System) environment.
Deploy a computationally optimized system and achieve real-time performance at embedded target platforms.
Explore a new approach for visual SLAM systems leveraged from deep learning
What You Need
MS or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent field.
5+ years of working experience in relevant fields such as computer vision, machine learning, and robotics.
Strong programming skills in C++ and experience with Python.
Solid understanding of an entire pipeline of real-time visual SLAM, including camera model, feature tracking, epipolar geometry, triangulation, and bundle adjustment.
Bonus Qualifications
Wide experience with OpenCV and open-source SLAM libraries.
Experience with bundle adjustment optimization libraries (e.g. g2o or ceres).
Experience with sensor fusion with multiple sensors such as camera, odometry, IMU, radar, lidar, etc.
Experience with ROS or other alternative middlewares.
Experience with utilizing deep learning-based object detection and segmentation
