Staff Robotics Engineer, Localisation

In order to set you up for success as a Staff Robotics Engineer, Localisation at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.

Deep practical expertise in localisation, state estimation or sensor fusion, with experience combining GNSS, IMU and wheel-odometry measurements.

Strong understanding of filtering-based estimation methods, including Kalman-family filters such as the EKF or UKF, and nonlinear optimisation approaches such as factor graphs.

Experience developing and operating localisation or state-estimation systems in production robotics, autonomous vehicles or comparable real-time systems.

Strong modern C++ software-engineering skills and proficiency in Python for prototyping, analysis, validation and test tooling.

Experience designing rigorous localisation validation and benchmarking, including accuracy metrics, uncertainty evaluation, ground-truth comparison, regression testing and failure analysis.

Evidence of hands-on technical leadership, including defining architecture, influencing technical roadmaps, mentoring engineers and collaborating effectively across multiple teams.

Experience incorporating camera-, LiDAR- or RADAR-based measurements into localisation and sensor-fusion systems, including visual, LiDAR or RADAR odometry.

Hands-on experience with nonlinear optimisation and robotics libraries such as GTSAM, Ceres or g2o.

Familiarity with automotive software-development practices and coding standards, including MISRA C++.

Experience deploying state-estimation software on embedded or resource-constrained platforms with real-time compute, memory and latency requirements.

Experience developing high-quality ground truth, benchmarks and validation evidence for localisation or other state-estimation systems.

Familiarity with relevant robotics tooling and libraries such as ROS, Eigen, OpenCV, PCL or CUDA.

MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
