What you will do

• Design and implement scalable sensor calibration pipelines in Python and C++ using OpenCV, ROS, and linear algebra libraries for real-time and offline calibration.
• Develop tools to perform and automate camera intrinsic calibration, Lidar-to-camera, and IMU-to-camera extrinsic calibration.
• Build and maintain simulation tools and data pipelines for sensor modeling and calibration validation.
• Work closely with perception, simulation, and platform teams to ensure calibration accuracy across hardware configurations and software versions.
• Debug sensor alignment issues in vehicle logs and simulation using ROS tools, rviz, and custom visualizers.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 6+ years of experience (or a Master’s Degree with 4+ years of experience).
