SLAM Software Engineer Full-time /Intern

You will work on the deployment of LiDAR based SLAM systems in production-level products.

Responsibilities

· Design and implement state-of-the-art LiDAR SLAM algorithms for real-time localization and mapping using multi-sensor inputs (e.g., LiDAR, IMUs, GNSS, wheel encoders).

· Improve the 3D LiDAR mapping accuracy in urban environments.

· Implement robust motion estimation, feature matching, loop closure, and map optimization pipelines.

· Apply non-linear optimization and filtering techniques (e.g., bundle adjustment, graph SLAM, EKF) to maximize system accuracy and robustness.

· Evaluate and benchmark system performance using large-scale datasets and real-world driving scenarios.

· Contribute to system integration, continuous validation, and deployment of SLAM modules on autonomous vehicle platforms.

Qualifications

· PhD degree in computer vision, robotics, or a related field

· Minimum of 2 years of industrial or postdoctoral experience in SLAM, localization, or robotic perception

· Deep theoretical and practical understanding of SLAM systems, 3D geometry, and sensor fusion

· Hands-on experience with real-world datasets and deployment of SLAM pipelines in field environments

· Proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with strong software engineering practices

· Experience with optimization libraries (e.g., g2o, Ceres Solver) and robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS)
