Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Staff Software Engineer - Machine Learning - Calibration - **Company:** Latitude Inc - **Location:** Pittsburg, CA, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $218,240.0 - $327,360.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Algorithm Design, Computer Vision, C++ (Programming Language), Computer Engineering, Real Time Systems, Information Technology, Optimization Algorithms, Software Coding, Lidar - **Published:** June 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/349a697d-cc94-4402-818c-9c529db65ea8 ## About the Role * 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 Nice to have: * 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 ## Description The Intelligent Systems organization is responsible for all components consuming sensor data, as well as offboard infrastructure required to enable such components. We seek a talented and technically sophisticated staff engineer/tech lead for our calibration group. Building safe autonomous driving systems requires keeping a diverse sensor suite in calibration - that is, knowing where the sensors are with respect to the vehicle, and their properties such as lens geometry. We seek a talented lead for our calibration group, responsible for calibration both pre-customer and once the vehicle is in customer hands. The challenge is significant - these vehicles may be in customer hands for many years without maintenance. But the opportunity is also immense - the lead in this role will shape the vision for calibration across the company, work broadly with key players both within Latitude and in the broader Ford entity, and be key in designing these complex systems that help to keep the product functioning correctly. What you'll do: * 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 ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [How Machine Learning is turning the Automotive Industry upside down](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/61-how-machine-learning-is-turning-the-automotive-industry-upside-down) - [Focoos AI: Building the Future of Computer Vision](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1659-focoos-ai-building-the-future-of-computer-vision) - [Unleashing the Power of Developers: Why Cybersecurity is the Missing Piece?!?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/712-unleashing-the-power-of-developers-why-cybersecurity-is-the-missing-piece) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
