THE PURPOSE:

Senior Robotics Engineer will primarily contribute to deliver a pose estimation system to Hyperloop-One. The pose estimation system is a composite of sensor suites and software that provides other sub-systems in Hyperloop-One with information about where a pod is and how it is oriented with respect to a reference coordination system. Without such information, it is impossible to locate where each of the pods is travelling in a hyper-structure.  

A successful candidate should have hands-on experience with perception systems in general, and specifically pose estimation/localization for any real-world applications/systems. He/she will be working through daily scrum, with a Principal Robotics Engineer or Engineering Manager, and with his/her teammates to execute the plans. He/she will be part of a team owning the Hyperloop-One’s pose estimation system. 

THE ROLE:

The success of this role will be measured by what he/she is delivering, by when, and how to hit each milestone. The accountability or responsibility of this role includes 1) analyzing problems, 2) designing modules, 3) writing code, 4) collaborating with team members, and 5) communicating, through oral and written communication, with peers in his/her department and in other departments. 

CANDIDATE PROFILE:

A successful candidate for this role should have hands-on experience in building systems for pose estimation, visual odometry, localization, SLAM, multi-target tracking, and any perception system relevant to pose estimation.  

Upon arrival, a successful candidate should already have a solid understanding and hands-on experience with perception stack, theories on field-robotics, and related fields of study. He/she should be a collaborator and a thinker firmly anchored with solid understanding of the related fields of study. The list of the theories and practices he/she should be familiar with includes estimation theory, machine learning (particularly graphical model), linear algebra, kinematics, vector calculus, computer vision, etc. In addition to these, any field experience would be very desirable.

MINIMUM REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or any related fields of study. 
• Three to four years of experience in field robotics and any related industries. 
• Experience in writing codes for any of the following systems: SLAM, visual odometry, or localization. 
• Hands-on experience in writing codes for processing any types of active and passive sensor data. Examples of active sensors include lidar and radar. An example of a passive sensor includes a camera.  
• Proficient in software engineering using C++ in any of Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu). 
• Written and oral communication skills including development and delivery of presentations and technical documents.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Master's degree in robotics, computer science, or electrical engineering. 
• Experience with GPU programming, ROS 
• Experience in writing codes for any of the following systems: sensor fusion, multi-target, tracking system, computer vision algorithms for object recognition. 
• Experience with Agile or any other SW development methodologies. 
• Experience with Python, shell scripts. 
• Hands-on experience in working on any types of active and passive sensor data acquisition pipeline.
