- Optimize sensors, pose graphs, and multi-modal alignment
- Identify failure modes and ship algorithmic fixes
- Improve runtime and scalability of distributed map-build pipelines
- Define data contracts and integration requirements with neighboring teams
Requirements- 3+ years of professional C++ software-development experience
- 3D geometry
- Point-cloud processing
- Registration
