About this role
**Senior Software Engineer, Localization (Calibration)** **WHO WE ARE** AeroVect is transforming ground handling with autonomy—redefining how airlines and ground service providers run day-to-day operations. We’re a Series A company backed by top-tier venture capital investors in aviation and autonomous driving. Our customers include some of the world’s largest airlines and ground handling providers. **What you’ll do** - **Own the calibration stack end-to-end**: improve reliability of existing offline calibrations, close coverage gaps across the sensor suite (**LiDAR, IMU, GNSS, cameras, radar**), and ensure every calibration is repeatable, traceable, and has clear **pass/fail** criteria. - **Design and build online calibration validation**: monitor cross-sensor consistency during live missions, detect drift, and integrate with the vehicle’s **safety architecture**. - **Contribute to the localization and mapping pipeline**: sensor integration, performance tuning, regression testing, and deployment to new operating environments. - **Develop tooling** for calibration health logging, diagnostics, and post-mission analysis. - **Deploy, test, and iterate** using data from real autonomous operations at active airports. **What you have** - **5+ years** of experience in robotics or autonomous vehicles with hands-on work in sensor calibration, localization, or state estimation. - Strong practical knowledge of **multi-sensor calibration** (intrinsic, extrinsic, and temporal) across **LiDARs, IMUs, GNSS, and cameras**. - Proven experience with **non-linear optimization** frameworks (**Ceres, GTSAM, g2o**) or **filtering** approaches (**EKF, UKF**). - Strong **C++** skills (**C++17+**) and working experience with **Linux** and **ROS/ROS2**. - Understanding of how **calibration quality** propagates through localization and perception. - **BS or MS** in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. **We prefer** - **MS or PhD** with a focus on calibration, localization, or state estimation. - Experience building **online/runtime calibration monitoring** for deployed autonomous systems. - Experience with **factor graphs**, graph-based SLAM, or open-source tools like **Kalibr, LIO-SAM, GLIM, Ceres, GTSAM**. - Track record of deploying calibration/localization systems on **real hardware** in production. - Experience defining **safety-relevant thresholds** and working with safety monitoring architectures. - Familiarity with **OpenCV, PCL, or Open3D**.
