Experience debugging and improving data quality across large datasets or pipelines.
Desirable Qualifications
Experience building HD maps or map-building systems for autonomous vehicles or robotics.
Experience applying computer vision or semantic segmentation to geometric problems.
Experience with large-scale distributed data processing (e.g., Beam, Spark, batch compute on AWS) and performance optimization.
Familiarity with geospatial concepts: coordinate frames, map projections, tiling schemes.
Proficiency in Python
The base salary range for this position is $139,000 - $223,000 per Year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
