role at
Latitude AI Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Latitude AI (lat.ai) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. Were driven by the opportunity to reimagine what its like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.
When you join the Latitude team, youll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering
all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.
As a Ford Motor Company subsidiary, we operate independently to develop automated driving technology at the speed of a technology startup. Latitude is headquartered in Pittsburgh with engineering centers in Dearborn, Mich., and Palo Alto, Calif.
Meet The Team
The Intelligent Systems organization is responsible for all components consuming sensor data, as well as offboard infrastructure required to enable such components. We seek a talented and technically sophisticated Staff Engineer for our calibration group.
Building safe autonomous driving systems requires keeping a diverse sensor suite in calibration - that is, knowing where the sensors are with respect to the vehicle, and their properties such as lens geometry. We seek a talented Staff Engineer for our calibration group, responsible for calibration both pre-customer and once the vehicle is in customer hands. The challenge is significant - these vehicles may be in customer hands for many years without maintenance. But the opportunity is also immense - the Staff Engineer in this role will shape the vision for calibration across the company, work broadly with key players both within Latitude and in the broader Ford entity, and be key in designing these complex systems that help to keep the product functioning correctly.
What Youll Do
Design and develop novel calibration solutions that can work in a factory, or in unstructured, uncontrolled environments across a diverse range of sensors - camera, radar, lidar, IMU Design, evangelize, and help implement a set of calibration technology solutions that result in a vehicle platform that remains aware of its calibration state at all times, and remains in calibration as much as possible Work closely with senior leaders at Latitude and Ford to ensure that these solutions are deployed correctly and operate smoothly across the product development lifecycle and post-launch Mentor and coach strong engineers to develop their skills, both as contributors and as calibration experts
What You'll Need To Succeed
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 7+ years of relevant experience (or Master's degree and 5+ years of relevant experience, or PhD and 2+ years of relevant experience) Strong mathematical expertise around the calibration problem, including ability to rapidly come up to speed on the state of the art and to evaluate the robustness and quality of solutions Deep understanding of numerical linear algebra and optimization algorithms Strong C++ Coding skills for real time applications Experience with geometric computer vision, image, lidar or radar processing Extremely strong problem solving skills and algorithm design experience, particularly in the calibration domain
Nice To Have
Experience calibrating devices or robots in a factory or manufacturing line environment Experience with production robots operating in an uncontrolled environment Experience with autonomous vehicles Masters or PhD in Computer Science
What We Offer You
Competitive compensation packages High-quality individual and family medical, dental, and vision insurance Health savings account with available employer match Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan with immediate vesting Employer-paid group term life insurance and the option to elect voluntary life insurance Paid parental leave Paid medical leave Unlimited vacation 15 paid holidays Daily lunches, snacks, and beverages available in all office locations Pre-tax spending accounts for healthcare and dependent care expenses Pre-tax commuter benefits Monthly wellness stipend Adoption/Surrogacy support program Backup child and elder care program Professional development reimbursement Employee assistance program Discounted programs that include legal services, identity theft protection, pet insurance, and more Company and team bonding outlets: employee resource groups, quarterly team activity stipend, and wellness initiatives
