Robotics Engineer, Calibration

Job Description

Who we are

We’re building artificial intelligence capable of complex driving using end-to-end deep learning; one which can scale across diverse urban environments. Wayve is building a full driving software system which is data-driven at every layer, learning to drive. Our unique end-to-end machine learning approach learns to drive in complex, never-seen-before urban environments. We learn to drive with computer vision by both observing human driving, and by using reinforcement learning.

This is one of the world’s hardest and most impactful problems to solve. Which is why we’re building a diverse, world-class team of people who are motivated by the opportunity to work with brilliant people on challenging problems that leave a positive impact on society.

Where you will have an impact

• Contribute to performance and reliability by keeping our and our partners’ fleets calibrated.
• Integrate an efficient calibration workflow into our commissioning processes for new platforms.
• Contribute to the roadmap for SLAM / odometry pipelines to support sensor calibration.
• Understand tools and methods across industry / academia and run projects from proof-of-concept to production when appropriate.

Challenges you will own

• Optimisation of time-to-calibrated after vehicle commissioning or hardware changes
• Robustness improvement to software and tools used in calibration workflow
• Interface with vehicle technicians / workshop to upskill & hand-off parts of vehicle calibration process
• Developing process / tools for calibration triage; find and localise problems quickly

What we are looking for

• Practical experience with calibration of robotics sensors in real-world applications
• Strong systems engineer
• Working with large-scale deployments
• Experience with triage and debugging of robotics systems without physical access

Essential

• Experience building calibration solutions
• Computer vision approaches (classical / learnt) for sensor calibration (feature detection, feature matching)
• Strong software skills (Python and C++)

Desirable

• Experience building automated, and/or targetless camera calibration solutions
• Working closely with SLAM / VO for multi-modal sensor calibration
• Building large data pipelines with PySpark or equivalent

What we offer you

• Competitive compensation with salary and equity

• Immersion in a team of world-class researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs

• A position to shape the future of autonomous driving and to tackle the biggest challenges of our time

• Benefits such as an onsite chef, workplace nursery scheme, private health insurance, therapy, daily yoga, onsite bar, large social budgets, unlimited L&D requests, enhanced parental leave, and more!

• This is a full-time role based in our office in King’s Cross. If your role is possible to do remotely we support flexible working, including working for up to 2 weeks from anywhere in the world.
