Senior Research Engineer - Mapping and Localization

Publicerad 2024-04-16

NavLive is a spinout from the University ofOxford backed by awardwinning technology and algorithms. We aredeveloping realtime spatial AI solutions for the construction andgeospatial industries.

We use realtimemultisensor fusion and highprecision positioning technology tobuild 3D models of indoor and outdoor environments in realtime. Ourtech can infer what has changed and provide insights to facilityowners or site decisionmakers. We want to recruit a senior researchengineer to help us develop our products and execute R&Dprojects with partners in the abovementionedsectors.

Are you interested in joining a rapidlygrowing startup to develop advanced technology which willrevolutionise how companies monitor their assets make decisions andmeasure the realworld

Tasks

Yourrole as a Senior Research Engineer willinvolve:

  • Developing andimproving 3D localisation and mapping algorithms and relatedapplications (change detection place recognition semanticsegmentation).
  • Writing software in C and Pythonand working in a professional software code base with continuoussoftware integration code reviews and unittesting.
  • Understanding priorities for ourclients and the company to develop new features and longtermcapabilities.
  • To collaborate with ourcolleagues who have a broad range of expertise from hardwareengineers to UI designers.
  • Leading field trialsand data collection with our mobile robots and handhelddevices.
  • Providing your own opinions andperspective to shape the growth of the company. Joining ourearlystage startup company is a unique opportunity to impact afastmoving deeptechstartup.

Requirements

Keyrequirements for thisrole:

  • Experiencedeveloping simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) on robotsvehicles or sensor systems.
  • Professional orresearch experience with C Python and ROS in the context ofrobotics and mobile sensing with demonstrations of theseskills.
  • Experience working with mobile roboticsand sensors such as lidar vision GPS andIMUs.
  • Deep understanding of algorithms andtools for Spatial AI such as nonlinear optimization (GTSAM Ceres)training neural networks for place recognition and 3Dreconstruction techniques (meshes NeRF).
  • A PhDin the field of robotic perception and SLAM or similar industrialexperience. Further experience working in industry isdesirable.
