Software Engineer - Onboard Maps and State Estimation

Our Localization, Calibration, and Mapping team delivers high-integrity solutions that let autonomous systems navigate with precision in real-time, safety-critical environments — across consumer automotive, trucking, mining, and construction. As a new team focused on platformization, we offer a rare opportunity to own core work leveraged across the entire organization.

HD maps go stale the moment they're built — lanes get repainted, stop lines move, roads close. You'll own the live map on Applied's onboard stack: a real-time fused estimate of the world built from map priors and live perception, from the estimation core to the change-detection and trust semantics the planner consumes, across every vehicle vertical we serve. This layer is early and has no incumbent design. You'll set the architecture and define the interfaces rather than tune inside someone else's system.
