We are looking for a Software Engineer II to join the Localization team. Your initial focus will be validation and metrics - extending our regression suite, building performance monitoring, and ensuring localization quality as we scale to new environments and hardware platforms. Over time, you will grow into broader localization engineering work. You will report to a Staff Localization Engineer and collaborate with the Infrastructure, Sim, and Safety teams.

You Will

Extend and maintain our localization regression suite and CI-based validation pipeline
Build metrics and analyzers that catch performance degradation before it reaches production
Develop localization health monitoring and diagnostics tooling
Work with real sensor data from autonomous operations to validate and debug localization performance
Support the team on general localization tasks - sensor integration, performance tuning, platform migrations - with increasing scope over time

You Have

2+ years of experience in robotics or autonomous vehicles
Strong Python/C++ skills
Experience with Linux and ROS/ROS2
Hands-on experience building test or validation infrastructure - replay pipelines, automated metrics, regression frameworks
Understanding of localization fundamentals (sensor fusion, SLAM, GNSS/INS)
BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related field

We Prefer

MS with focus on localization, state estimation, or robotics
Experience with CI/CD pipelines for offline evaluation at scale
Familiarity with graph-based SLAM or optimization tools (GTSAM, Ceres, GLIM)
Exposure to embedded compute platforms (Jetson or similar)
Experience with safety-critical validation or V&V processes
