You Have
2+ years of experience in robotics or autonomous vehicles
Strong Python/C++ skills
Experience with Linux and ROS/ROS2
Hands-on experience building test or validation infrastructure - replay pipelines, automated metrics, regression frameworks
Understanding of localization fundamentals (sensor fusion, SLAM, GNSS/INS)
BS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or related field
We Prefer
MS with focus on localization, state estimation, or robotics
Experience with CI/CD pipelines for offline evaluation at scale
