Latitude AI develops automated driving technologies for Ford vehicles at scale. They are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the calibration group, responsible for designing and implementing calibration solutions for a diverse range of sensors in autonomous driving systems.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop novel calibration solutions that can work in a factory, or in unstructured, uncontrolled environments across a diverse range of sensors - camera, radar, lidar, IMU
- Design, evangelize, and help implement a set of calibration technology solutions that result in a vehicle platform that remains aware of its calibration state at all times, and remains in calibration as much as possible
- Work closely with senior leaders at Latitude and Ford to ensure that these solutions are deployed correctly and operate smoothly across the product development lifecycle and post-launch
- Mentor and coach strong engineers to develop their skills, both as contributors and as calibration experts
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 7+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 5+ years of relevant experience, or PhD and 2+ years of relevant experience)
- Strong mathematical expertise around the calibration problem, including ability to rapidly come up to speed on the state of the art and to evaluate the robustness and quality of solutions
- Deep understanding of numerical linear algebra and optimization algorithms
- Strong C++ Coding skills for real time applications
- Experience with geometric computer vision, image, lidar or radar processing
- Extremely strong problem solving skills and algorithm design experience, particularly in the calibration domain
- Experience calibrating devices or robots in a factory or manufacturing line environment
- Experience with production robots operating in an uncontrolled environment
- Experience with autonomous vehicles
- Masters or PhD in Computer Science
