Descripción de la vacante

Aurora is hiring a Software Engineer for Map Build to develop the 3D spatial foundation powering the Aurora Driver. You will own algorithms that convert millions of lidar logs into offline maps, tackling speed and scale as Aurora expands to new routes.

Key tasks include designing and implementing geometric map-generation algorithms, improving pipeline scalability, and collaborating on data contracts with adjacent teams. Strong C++ and 3D geometry skills are required.

Formación

• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional software development experience in C++.
• Hands-on experience with 3D geometry and point-cloud processing, such as registration (ICP, scan matching), pose-graph or nonlinear least-squares optimization, surface reconstruction or lidar-based SLAM/mapping.
• Strong grasp of linear algebra, spatial transforms, numerical optimization and probability.
• Experience debugging and improving data quality across large datasets or pipelines.

Responsabilidades

• Design, implement and own geometric map-generation algorithms, including sensor optimization, large scale pose-graph optimization and multi-modal alignment.
• Identify and build a system that will be immune to failure modes; root cause and ship algorithmic fixes with measurable success criteria.
• Improve the runtime and scalability of large-scale distributed map-build pipeline stages.
• Collaborate with neighboring team on defining data contracts and integration requirements.
