About the Role This position entails the development of software for computer vision in autonomous mobile robot systems. The computer vision software involves Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (V-SLAM) and depth estimation using image sequences from multiple cameras. You will work with closely the perception group to deliver the essential vision technology that will make autonomous driving reliable and safe. You will not only develop V-SLAM algorithm, but also collaborate with the system integration team to integrate and optimize. Above all, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and coordinating New Mobility programs in collaboration with internal and external departments, supplier companies, institutions, and academia.
Your Responsibilities - Evaluation of technologies and product designs with compliance to scientific principles, engineering principles, company standards, customer requirements and related specifications
- Support the development of innovative components and modules from the initial concept phase through the complete development process including design engineering, validation, prototyping, testing, and evaluation of the proposed production capable process and business case
- Contribute to team effort by providing innovative ideas for products and processes and by sharing information with other team members
- Analyze engineering results and propose product changes to determine feasibility, improvement of components and systems and functional/performance specifications
- Correlate experimental data to simulation data
- Maintain innovation project schedule by monitoring project progress, co-coordinate activities, calculating time requirements, sequencing project elements, and resolving problems
