Nice to have
- Experience with state estimation techniques such as factor graphs, Kalman filtering, nonlinear optimization, or related probabilistic estimation methods
- Familiarity with distributed computing tools such as Ray, Kubernetes, or similar orchestration frameworks
- Knowledge of embedded and real-time constraints for on-vehicle deployment
- Experience in simulation, synthetic data generation, and uncertainty-aware ML modeling
- Contributions to open-source robotics, perception, or ML frameworks
What you get
- A competitive compensation package that includes a bonus component and stock options
- 100% paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees
- 401K plan with a 6% employer match
- Flexibility in schedule and generous paid vacation (available immediately after start date)
