    Development

    • Designing, developing and delivering semantic understanding software, systems, products and tooling.
    • Discussions with the team on high level design decisions for various parts of our local scene building stack.
    • Prototyping or implementing and testing algorithms for improving our semantic understanding systems.
    • Working cross-functionally to coordinate with other teams to deliver new features.
    • Working with data from multiple sources (static and dynamic) and the synchronisation of that data.
    • Developing and testing our local scene API which is used by multiple other systems.
    • Performance analysis and optimisation of software to meet required real time constraints.

    Leadership

    • Providing technical direction and advice for other members of the Scene Maker team.
    • Liaising with leaders throughout the company to understand the overall drive, direction and technical needs of the company, and how that impacts and steers our team.

    Communication

    • You will interact with other teams to learn about the autonomy system and gain exposure to all aspects of the business.
    Requirements

    What you need to succeed:

    • Demonstrated experience and excellence in algorithms development for robotics especially for semantic understanding and mapping.
    • Demonstrated excellence in software development for production systems. For example using testing, safety, and performance to inform design and implementation decisions.
    • Software development experience and knowledge of C++11/14/17.
    • Working knowledge of Python (Numpy, Scipy, Jupyter Notebooks, etc).
    • A measured, scientific approach to building complex engineering systems

    Extra kudos if you have:

    • The ability to understand and debug complex system interactions across a large codebase.
    • Work collaboratively across multi-disciplinary teams.
    • A PhD or Master's degree in engineering or computer science.
    • Experience working with and analysing map data (road networks, infrastructure etc.) particularly formats such as OpenDRIVE

    • Software Engineer working within an AV mapping organisation.
    • Master/PhD background with expertise in mobile robotics.
    • Software Engineer with experience working on production systems.
    • Software Engineer with experience deploying algorithms to real time production systems.
