## Description

About the RoleOur robotics team is growing and we are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Sensor Data and Calibration team. We are searching for an engineer with robotics and machine learning expertise to develop synthetic sensor simulation models and algorithms. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in the research, development, and implementation of machine learning methods (e.g., NeRF or Gaussian splatting) for generating synthetic sensor data (photorealistic images, realistic lidar and/or radar, etc.).

About the Work

 * Research, develop, and implement state-of-the-art synthetic sensor simulation methods
 * Analyze and characterize the realism and utility of synthetic sensor data
 * Answer critical questions about sensor data and autonomy performance
 * Collaborate with stakeholders across autonomy, infrastructure, and systems teams on map needs and requirements
 * Role is scoped as a Senior/Staff IC with the flexibility to grow into a Tech Lead/TLM.
