As a Senior AI/ML Engineer - Robot Localization, you will join the robotics team to advance localization capabilities for autonomous mobile robots. You will design, implement, and optimize camera- and LiDAR-based localization algorithms while applying statistical estimation theory to improve accuracy, robustness, and runtime performance. Your daily work involves developing pose-graph and factor-graph optimization solutions, investigating state-of-the-art place-recognition techniques for loop-closure detection, and integrating these capabilities with ROS 2 or other robotics middleware. You will collaborate across functions to resolve field issues, perform code reviews, and manage automated testing within a continuous deployment framework. The role focuses on solving the critical problem of enabling robots to understand their position and operate reliably in diverse environments while balancing accuracy against resource constraints like latency and memory on constrained robotic platforms.
