Lead Geospatial Data Scientist for HD Maps

Unikie; Szczecin; On-site; PLN 180,000 - 340,000; Full time

Job summary

Unikie seeks a Geospatial Data Science Engineer to pioneer the data layer powering our next-generation software-defined electric vehicles. In this senior role, you will transform massive, high-frequency streams of vehicle sensor observations into dynamic map features for localization, routing, and ADAS.

You will apply advanced computational statistics, machine learning, and spatial analysis to process large datasets, turning raw fleet telemetry into live, high-definition maps.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Geoinformatics, Robotics, or related quantitative field with emphasis on computational statistics, data mining, ML or spatial optimization.
• 8+ years of professional experience building and maintaining large-scale data processing and predictive systems.
• Expert-level knowledge in data mining and analytic methods (regression, classifiers, clustering, association rules, decision trees, Bayesian networks).
• Proven geospatial experience with geospatial data, noisy time-series datasets, PostGIS, and spatial libraries/indexing systems (H3, S2, GeoPandas).
• Proficiency with Python, SQL, and shell scripting (or familiarity with R/MATLAB).
• Strong statistical foundation with expertise in designing, executing, and analyzing complex data tests and validation methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Geospatial pipeline engineering: design, build, and optimize scalable pipelines ingesting billions of daily observations into map features.
• Statistical modeling & insights: apply data mining and analytics to detect real-world changes and validate map accuracy.
• Map generation & map matching: develop algorithms for map matching, trajectory smoothing, and sensor fusion.
• System design & architecture: lead design of spatial data systems with low-latency queries and scalable storage.
• Stakeholder collaboration: partner with embedded software, perception, and cloud teams to align onboard capabilities with mapping platforms.
• Stay ahead of curve: keep up-to-date with big data, statistics, ML and automated mapping practices.
