  • Contribute to a robust and scalable C++ codebase with state-of-the-art practices.
  • Mentor others in software and algorithm engineering domains.
  • Propose and prototype novel methods for localization, pose metrics and other related topics.
  • Present designs, challenges, implementation details and results during periodic reviews and technical interchange meetings.
  • Develop tools to eliminate repeated tasks.

You'll have

  • Master's in Computer Science or equivalent fields.
  • 5+ years C++ development experience.
  • 2+ years of development experience with localization fundamentals like Bayesian filtering, SLAM, ICP and other related topics.
  • 2+ years of experience of working with hardware and robotic platforms.

As an established global company, we offer the benefit of choice. You can choose what your Ford future will look like: will your story span the globe, or keep you close to home? Will your career be a deep dive into what you love, or a series of new teams and new skills? Will you be a leader, a change maker, a technical expert, a culture builderor all of the above? No matter what you choose, we offer a work life that works for you, including:


• Immediate medical, dental, and prescription drug coverage


• Flexible family care, parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more
