Job summary

Applied Intuition in Sunnyvale, CA is hiring for a Localization, Calibration, and Mapping role to own the live HD map estimator end to end. You will fuse map priors with live perception to deliver a real-time world estimate used across vehicle programs.

You will define interfaces, set architecture, and work closely with users to collect feedback, shipping code in modern C++ that meets embedded constraints. This is an in-office role with opportunities to influence foundational platform components.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of production software experience, including an estimation core.
  • State estimation fundamentals with factor graphs or filtering and 3D geometry.
  • Experience fusing map priors, perception, and sensors into a single world estimate.
  • Strong C++ skills for real-time embedded compute.
  • Ability to define systems and interfaces with consumer teams.

Responsibilities

  • Own the onboard live-map estimator end to end: fuse HD map priors with live perception into a single, real-time world estimate.
  • Build onboard map change detection: classify boundary shifts, stop-line moves, and road closures from map vs perception.
  • Define the map trust contracts the planner uses: confidence semantics and degraded-mode behavior.
  • Build the evaluation backbone, ground-truth and metrics pipelines, and regression testing.
  • Ship estimation code in modern C++ that meets real-time budgets on embedded compute.
  • Extend the loop offboard: aggregate divergences across fleet logs into map freshness pipelines.
