There's undeniable demand for cheap, fast and reliable deliveries (pick all three!) across all delivery companies, restaurant chains and individual restaurants.
We want Serve to help all of them. To accomplish this, Serve needs autonomous driving and routing capabilities build on top of robust, scalable maps, as well as high quality real-time localization to make use of these maps. We are a small but highly capable team, so the impact of your work will be considerable.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement core pieces of our next generation mapping and localization engine
Build a mapping system that scales to city-size environments
Collaborate to improve Mapping annotation tooling and consumption of data by neural network based approaches for safe traversable area navigation
Build estimators and RTK capable GPS data in robot to remove the uncertainty in it’s global localization
Work closely with other autonomy team members to maximize the utility provided by mapping and localization
Ship production quality code, participate in code reviews, teach / mentor more junior engineers
Qualifications
Master’s in Robotics focused in localization and mapping with 5+ years of experience or PhD with solid research background that can be applied to practical robotic solutions in localization and mapping.
A deep understanding of SLAM systems
Strong C++ programming skills
The ability to design and build a simple system that works, and having it gradually evolve into a elegant system that scales
Strong verbal and writing communication skills
What’s makes you standout
Experience building cloud applications
Building infrastructure for labeling and maintaining HD maps
Experience with very large geospatial datasets
Experience with CUDA programming
Experience with real sensors, such as lidar, camera, RGB-D, etc.
Hiring locations
Currently, we are only hiring US and Canada residents, even for remote jobs.
More about us
Serve Robotics is the team that created the Postmates delivery robot and brought it to life in LA, completing tens of thousands of deliveries in LA’s busiest neighborhoods. Now we're an independent company growing rapidly in order to connect people with what they need via robots designed to serve people.
We are proud to be an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer.
