Senior Software Engineer - Maps & Localization - AV Labs

About the Role

Uber is launching AV Labs to accelerate the autonomous technology ecosystem. We’re building out a high-velocity team of multi-disciplinary experts to turn real-world operations into high-quality data for our autonomous partners. This team will be focused on the hardest problem in AV today: unlocking real-world, long-tail driving data. Autonomy is now a data race–and Uber has an edge: We collect rare, real-world driving data at a scale and capital efficiency no one else can match (millions of Uber trips every hour across cities, conditions, and edge cases create the data autonomy has been missing).

We will build platforms that harness scale and real-world complexity to reimagine how the world moves.

You will be a software engineer in AV Labs and involved in the development and implementation of the latest technology for self-driving stacks. The ideal candidate will be able to identify issues, provide solutions, and implement the fixes, as well as set a high technical excellence bar in all things we do.

• Design and implement the batch pipeline for HD Maps generation.
• Design the data format and storage format for HD Maps.
• Implement core algorithms for HD mapping and localization.

Basic Qualifications:

• Minimum 3 years of total experience in the self-driving industry.
• Bachelor degree in computer science, computer engineering or related fields.
• Proficient in core algorithms for HD mapping and localization.
• Proficient in batch data processing.
