Requirements
• Familiarity with non-linear least squares solvers (e.g., Ceres, g2o) and large-scale optimization. • Background in sensor simulation, synthetic data generation, or validation frameworks. • Prior contributions to ROS-based open-source calibration or robotics tools. • Experience influencing technical roadmaps and defining long-term software strategies. • Uses vim as a primary editor (yes, still really). • Willingness to travel occasionally. • Work Location: For this position, we are open to hiring in Ann Arbor, MI (U.S.) office work locations in a hybrid capacity. We are also open to hiring Remote in the United States. • Work Location:
Responsibilities
• As a Senior Software Engineer on AdKit CE&C, you will be directly involved in bringing our software solution toward its long-term implementation. To successfully accomplish this, you would need to: • Own the design and architecture for a scalable sensor calibration pipeline in C++, leveraging available libraries (OpenCV, linear algebra libraries) for real-time and offline calibration. • Deep expertise in linear algebra to lead the design and implementation of spatial computational system for multi-modals sensor platforms. Apply advanced mathematical rigor using Lie groups, quaternions, and 3D transformations to ensure accurate spatial calibration. • Lead the development of specialized dedicated libraries allowing sensor-to-sensor extrinsic calibration (lidar-camera, imu-lidar, etc.) using multi-sensor targetless detections during robotics missions. • Experience with camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration. • Drive the design and maintenance of simulation tools and data pipelines for sensor modeling, calibration validation, and large-scale regression testing. • Collaborate cross-functionally with perception, simulation, and platform teams to define calibration requirements, set best practices, and ensure robustness across hardware configurations and software releases. • Establish and maintain CI/CD-integrated calibration workflows using Docker, Bazel, and Git to enable reproducible, automated testing and deployment. • Lead deep-dive debugging and root-cause analysis of complex sensor alignment issues in vehicle logs and simulation using ROS tools, rviz, and custom visualization utilities. • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical reviews, fostering a culture of high-quality software design and code excellence.
