WHO WE ARE

GPR is for people with curiosity, grit, perseverance, and a sense of adventure. We're building a culture where our team's professional and personal growth are core to our mission. If you want to take a step toward building a career of impact, excellence, and fun, then let's start a conversation!

WHO YOU ARE + WHAT YOU'LL DO

As the Senior Mapping and Localization Engineer, you will contribute to GPR's efforts around key algorithmic and engineering decisions for our radar-based map and sensor fusion-based localization algorithms. Your work will involve developing and innovating in the field of Radar-based Localization.

  • Develop and refine radar and multi-sensor-based mapping and localization algorithms for autonomous vehicle and mobile robotic applications.
  • Understand key technical and performance trade-offs for Radar-based Localization.
  • Contribute to building the Software stack to run our autonomous vehicle.
  • Support our current Autonomous Vehicle stack, and the interface with our localization.
  • You re comfortable thinking about the big picture and the small details. You enjoy making design and algorithmic decisions.
  • Rapidly prototype to test and discard hypotheses.
  • A get-it-done person. You know that done is better than perfect and are energized by constantly delivering and moving things forward.
  • Enjoy working with small, high output teams in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Open-minded and collaborative team player with willingness to help others.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Experience designing and developing, localization and mapping algorithms(SLAM, Visual Odometry, Global Retrieval, Feature Matching, etc).
  • Experience working with multiple sensor modalities like Radar, camera, lidar, IMU etc.
  • Mathematical fundamentals in Linear Algebra, Vector calculus, Probabilistic theory, and Mathematical Optimization along with relevant implementation experience.
  • Prior experience in any of pose estimation, probabilistic filtering, SLAM, nonlinear optimization or similar robotics fields.
  • 3 years or more experience working in applied Localization for Robotics/AV.
  • Excellent C++ skills and experience with production software.
  • This a hybrid role and the candidate is expected to be on-site 4 days a week.

NICE TO HAVE

  • PhD or Masters in an autonomous vehicle mapping, localization, or sensor fusion related field or equivalent experience and knowledge.
  • Experience with Real-Time application in resource constrained computing environments
  • Experience working with radar data
  • Expertise in Optimization Frameworks (g2o, CERES, iSAM,etc)
  • Experience with ROS1/ROS2 or AV stacks

WORK

  • All applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
  • Must be able to work from our Somerville, MA office 4 times a week.
