- Validate algorithms on real vehicles using datasets covering tens of thousands of kilometers across multiple continents.
Requirements
- MSc in Robotics, Computer Vision, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, estimation theory, optimization, and 3D geometry.
- Strong understanding of sensor fusion, localization, and state estimation methods, including Kalman filtering and factor graph optimization.
- Strong software engineering skills in Python and C++.
- Experience designing, implementing, and debugging complex robotics systems.
- Ability to lead architectural discussions, articulate tradeoffs, quantify technical risks, and define realistic development milestones.
- Preferred: PhD in Robotics, Computer Vision, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Preferred: experience deploying SLAM, localization, odometry, or calibration algorithms on real robotics platforms in challenging environments.
- Preferred: experience with tightly coupled visual, inertial, and radar data fusion.
- Preferred: practical and theoretical understanding of sensor noise, synchronization, observability, degeneracy, and failure modes.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary of €75,000 to €90,000 annually, depending on experience, plus equity.
- Hybrid work model with three days per week in the Paris office—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—and the remaining days worked remotely.
- Modern, fully equipped office in central Paris.
- Partial reimbursement for public transportation where applicable.
- Subsidized meal vouchers.
- Wellness Pass, formerly Gymlib.
- Opportunity to make an impact at a young, venture-backed company in an emerging market.
