Robotics State Estimation and Control Generalist

Responsibilities

• Lead vehicle generalization benchmark evaluation and metrics tooling. Creation, curation, and dedicated focus on cross-platform and vehicle-to-vehicle variability.
• Able to dive deep into pragmatic variabilities with different platforms and get hands-on, and zoom out to paint a bigger picture for driving the larger generalization metrics story.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with a broad range of teams from OEM support engineering, to measurement, and controls.
• Customer Program Support: Provide on-the-ground technical support enabling the autonomy stack for key customer programs (e.g., Nissan, Stellantis), which may require domestic and international travel.
• About You
• Essential
• Experience with data-driven development, including defining metrics, building tooling, and performing data analysis.
• Core Robotics Expertise: Strong background and practical experience with control system design, state estimation (including odometry and localization), and sensor fusion.
• Programming: Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• System Thinking: Demonstrated strong robotics system thinking, enabling quick diagnosis and resolution of complex integration issues in dynamic environments.
• Location/Travel: Willingness and ability to travel (domestic and international) for on-the-ground customer and vehicle support. Must be based in Sunnyvale, CA.
• Excellent cross-functional communication and teamwork skills.
• Desirable
• Familiarity with mapping/navigation data and advanced odometry techniques.
• Experience with advanced control techniques, particularly where motion planning/control is influenced by or performed by a neural network
• This role is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid) and the reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $253,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.
