About the role

As a Staff/Senior Software Engineer on our Calibration, Localization, & Mapping (CLAM) team, you will be responsible for delivering mission-critical improvements and new features to our calibration, localization, and mapping subsystems.

Design, implement, tune, and test mapping, localization, and sensor calibration algorithms for our autonomous vehicle platforms using C++ and Python.
Develop tooling and metrics for performance validation and continuous testing frameworks.
If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you.
Experience working with ROS2 to design, build, and operate robotic systems.
We build today and deploy tomorrow.
We just develop them.
Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment.

Solid theoretical knowledge of state-of-the-art techniques in 3D Lidar-based mapping and localization for autonomous vehicles (LOAM series, GICP, FastLIO, bundle-adjustment)
Familiarity with state estimation frameworks such as EKF's as well as modern nonlinear optimization libraries (GTSAM, G2O, Ceres-Solver, GNC-Solver, etc.).
6+ years of industry experience as an autonomous vehicle or robotics software engineering professional including hands-on implementation and tuning on production hardware.
Proficiency in Python.
MS/Phd with focus in robotics or a similar technical field of study
Solid foundation in probability theory, linear algebra, 3D geometry, and spatial coordinate transformations.
In-depth understanding of matrix factorization algorithms and Lie algebra/groups.
6+ years industry experience writing C++ software in a production environment - architecture design, unit testing, code review, algorithm performance trade-offs, etc.
Excellent written & verbal communication skills.
Bonus Qualifications

Proven record of top-tier publications or patents.
Experience with GPU programming, CUDA.
Experience in implementing automated map change detection and updating techniques.
Experience implementing modern multi-sensor calibration and sensor mis-alignment detection algorithms.
Experience with camera-based SLAM and 3D multi-view geometry.
Exposure to modern software development version control and project management tools - Git, Jira, etc.

This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders-they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly-traded equity.

To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward.
We are small and big.
