Summary
Software engineer in Sunnyvale building pipelines that calibrate vehicle sensor (intrinsic/extrinsic) parameters for autonomous systems. Day to day: own the calibration lifecycle from data collection through deployment and evaluation, enable sensor fusion across camera, lidar, radar, IMU, and GNSS, and expose calibration status via HMI — primarily using C++ and Python.
You will build software pipelines to calibrate vehicle sensor parameters and manage calibration lifecycle, deployment, data collection, processing, and evaluation. You will collaborate with calibration algorithm engineers, develop offline and online calibration capabilities, enable sensor fusion, and create user-friendly calibration procedures and HMI status integrations.
