TORC Robotics
About the Company
At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel,move freight, and do business.
A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners.Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transformhow the world moves freight.
Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.
Meet the Team
The Sensor Calibration team at Torc plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of perception systems across our autonomous vehicle platform. We develop and maintain software tools and algorithms that calibrate and validate multi-modal sensors including cameras, Lidar, and IMUsboth in simulation and on real vehicles. Our work directly supports the safety, performance, and robustness of autonomous driving capabilities.
What Youll Do
Design and implement scalable sensor calibration pipelines in
Python
and
C++
, leveraging
OpenCV
,
ROS
, and
linear algebra libraries
for real-time and offline calibration. Develop tools to perform and automate
camera intrinsic calibration
,
Lidar-to-camera
, and
IMU-to-camera extrinsic calibration
. Apply mathematical rigor using
Lie groups
,
quaternions
, and
3D transformations
to support accurate calibration and registration. Build and maintain simulation tools and data pipelines for sensor modeling and calibration validation. Work closely with perception, simulation, and platform teams to ensure calibration accuracy across hardware configurations and software versions. Utilize
Docker
,
Bazel
, and
Git
to develop reproducible, containerized calibration workflows integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Debug sensor alignment issues in vehicle logs and simulation using ROS tools, rviz, and custom visualizers. What Youll Need to Succeed Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 35 years of experience (or a Masters Degree with 12 years of experience). Proficiency in
Python
and
C++
for tool development and algorithm implementation. Experience with
OpenCV
,
ROS
, and numerical libraries for computer vision and robotics. Experience working with sensors and sensor data across multiple modalities. Strong understanding of
camera intrinsic/extrinsic models
,
sensor alignment
, and
coordinate frame transformations
. Familiarity with
Lidar
,
IMU
, and
multi-sensor calibration
, especially in robotics or autonomous systems. Solid grasp of
3D geometry
,
non-linear optimization
, and matrix math, including
SE(3)
and
SO(3)
representations. Comfort working in Linux development environments, using Git, Docker, and command-line tools. Bonus Points! Experience with
Rust
or interest in learning it for high-performance tooling. Familiarity with
non-linear least squares solvers
(e.g., Ceres, g2o). Background in
sensor simulation
for synthetic data generation and validation. Contributions to ROS-based open-source calibration tools. Uses
vim
as a primary editor (yes, really). Willingness to travel on occassion. Hiring Range for Job Opening
US Pay Range $139,000 $166,800 USD
