Senior Autonomy Engineer

Who you are

• More important than specific domain experience is an ability to make the math, the algorithms, and the code all line up and work well on real world problems
• Hands-on experience with visual odometry, state estimation, mapping, and SLAM
• Proficiency with probabilistic inference and 3d geometry
• Optimization for computationally constrained environments
• Deep Learning - training data, neural networks, online learning
• Solid software engineering foundation and a commitment to writing clean, well architected code
• High proficiency in C++
• Ability to thrive in a fast paced, collaborative, small team environment

What the job involves

• The core of our system is the computer vision algorithms that allow drones to understand the world around them
• You will architect and implement the algorithms that run on every drone powered by Skydio as part of a world class computer vision team with researchers who have pushed the state of the art in academia and industry
• We are looking for people who bring together an understanding of the relevant theory, solid software skills, and an ability to drive through to working solutions
• Design and implement real-time estimation, mapping, tracking, classification, and detection algorithms
• Imagine and then implement new features that unlock magic for our users
• Characterize and quantify the performance of the vision system
• Research and prototype new approaches
• Be a generalist helping out on all aspects of the software when needed
