Nice to have
- PlusAI is a Physical AI company pioneering AI-based virtual driver software for factory-built autonomous trucks.
- Headquartered in Silicon Valley with operations in the United States and Europe, Plus was named by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies.
- Our Localization & Mapping team is responsible for ensuring our autonomous vehicles always know precisely where they are and what the world around them looks like.
- High-definition (HD) LiDAR maps are the foundation of this safety, but the real world changes constantly-roads get repaved, construction zones appear overnight, and new buildings reshape the horizon.
- Your mission will be to process incoming data from our active testing fleet, compare it against our base HD maps, and isolate permanent structural changes from daily clutter (like parked cars or pedestrians).
- Preferred Skills:
Skills
- Experience with Gaussian splatting/NeRF is a plus.
- Experience with deep learning techniques applied to localization and mapping is a plus.
- Education: MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline.
- Technical Experience: Proven project involvement in LiDAR-based localization and mapping within autonomous vehicles or robotics.
- Sensor Fusion Expertise: Deep understanding of integrating various sensors like LiDAR, GPS, IMU, and camera data.
- Software Proficiency: Solid experience in C++ and ROS.
- Your opportunities joining PlusAI Work, learn and grow in a highly future-oriented, innovative and dynamic field.
- Wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development.
- Catered free lunch, unlimited snacks and beverages.
- Highly competitive salary and benefits package, including 401(k) plan.
