Our Calibration, Localization, and Mapping (CLAMS) team is responsible for building the algorithms and tools necessary for keeping Zoox vehicles well calibrated, always knowing where they’re located within the world, and aware of their environment. Without precise calibration, localization, and mapping our vehicles would be at a disadvantage when it comes to perceiving and reasoning about the surrounding world, and is therefore foundational in enabling results from many other teams across Zoox. This work is critical for scaling autonomous driving in a safe and reliable way. We are looking for engineers who are ambitious and excited about helping Zoox deliver on its goals to deliver autonomous mobility.

Responsibilities

Investigate, develop, and validate rigorous and cutting-edge solutions to all of the challenging mapping problems our cities have to offer.
Collaborate in building a highly automated, scalable, multi-modality, 3D mapping system.
Develop algorithms that are verifiably robust, operating on diverse data across a variety of environments and conditions without human intervention.

Qualifications

Fluency in C++
Experience with pose estimation, SLAM, probabilistic filtering, and 3D data
Experience handling large data sets efficiently
Strong mathematical skills
7+ years of industry experience in a related field

Bonus Qualifications

Experience with autonomous robots
Experience with realtime sensor fusion (e.g. IMU, LiDAR, camera, odometry, radar)
Knowledge of computer vision techniques and machine learning

Compensation

There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary will range from $196,000 - $246,000.
