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
