What are the responsibilities and job description for the Calibration/Localization Algorithm Engineer position at Actalent?
Job Title: Engineer
Job Description
We are seeking a talented engineer to develop and enhance calibration algorithms for multi-camera systems. The role involves implementing procedures to correct lens distortion and camera misalignment, as well as designing algorithms for converting 2D images into 3D models and back to 2D projections. The successful candidate will apply mathematical techniques and design Visual SLAM algorithms for real-time localization and mapping.
Responsibilities
- Develop and enhance calibration algorithms for multi-camera systems.
- Implement procedures to correct lens distortion and camera misalignment.
- Develop algorithms for converting 2D images into 3D models and back to 2D projections.
- Apply mathematical techniques such as homography and projective transformations.
- Design and implement Visual SLAM algorithms for real-time localization and mapping.
- Utilize techniques for feature extraction, matching, and tracking.
- Integrate SLAM algorithms with data from other sensors (e.g., LIDAR, IMU) to enhance system performance.
- Continuously improve the performance of algorithm software to ensure low latency and high accuracy in real-time, safety-critical automotive environments.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to sensor data processing.
- Validate algorithms using real-world data and simulations.
- Work closely with hardware, software, and vehicle control engineers to integrate perception algorithms into Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other safety features.
- Ensure all developed perception algorithms and safety systems comply with automotive industry safety standards.
Essential Skills
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, or related field.
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in computer vision, image processing, and machine learning.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C and Python.
- Experience with camera calibration techniques and tools (e.g., OpenCV, ROS).
- Strong understanding of perspective transformations and 3D reconstruction methods.
- Familiarity with Visual SLAM frameworks (e.g., ORB-SLAM, LSD-SLAM, RTAB-Map).
- Experience with automotive ADAS systems and sensor fusion.
- Experience with machine learning algorithm development for embedded ECUs.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- Knowledge of embedded software development in C/C for 16-bit and 32-bit micro-controllers such as PPC microcontrollers, ARM Core, or DSP.
- Experience in using a disciplined software development process based on ASPICE or CMMi process model.
