What does a 3D Mapping job involve?

A 3D Mapping job involves creating three-dimensional representations of environments using specialized software and data sources like LiDAR, photogrammetry, or satellite imagery. Professionals in this field work in industries such as urban planning, autonomous vehicles, gaming, and geospatial analysis. Their tasks may include data collection, processing, visualization, and integration of 3D models into real-world applications. Strong knowledge of GIS, CAD, and 3D rendering tools is often required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the 3D Mapping position, and why are they important?

To thrive in 3D Mapping, you need strong spatial analysis, geospatial data interpretation, and technical drawing skills, often supported by a degree in geography, geomatics, or a related field. Proficiency with mapping software such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, or 3D modeling tools, as well as certifications in GIS or remote sensing, is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills ensure accurate geospatial representations and efficient collaboration with engineering, planning, and technical teams.

What are the typical daily tasks and team collaborations involved in a 3D Mapping role?

Professionals in 3D Mapping spend their days collecting, processing, and analyzing spatial data to create accurate three-dimensional models for a variety of industries, such as urban planning, construction, or environmental management. You’ll often work with cutting-edge technologies like LiDAR, drones, and GIS software, and collaborate closely with surveyors, engineers, and project managers to ensure project goals are met. Teamwork is essential, as 3D mappers provide critical visualizations and data that inform decision making across departments. Additionally, you may be responsible for troubleshooting data discrepancies, updating models as new information becomes available, and presenting your findings to stakeholders. This dynamic environment provides opportunities to broaden your technical expertise and take on increasing responsibilities over time.

Job description

The 3D Mapping team is seeking a Software Engineer to help tackle all the challenging mapping scenarios our cities have to offer, including highway mapping and mapping under difficult environment conditions. This work is critical for scaling autonomous driving in a safe and reliable way. We are looking for engineers who are ambitious and excited about helping Zoox deliver on its goals to deliver autonomous mobility.
In this role, you will:
  • Design, develop, and validate mapping algorithms for cities and highway driving.
  • Collaborate in building a highly automated, scalable, multi-modality, 3D mapping system.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and technical roadmaps.
  • Contribute to all phases of the software development cycle including prototyping, requirements capture, design, implementation, and validation.
Qualifications:
  • M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • Proficient in C++ and Python
  • Experience with factor graphs, pose estimation, SLAM, probabilistic filtering, and 3D data
  • Strong mathematical skills
Bonus Qualifications:
  • Experience with autonomous robots
  • Experience with real-time sensor fusion (e.g., IMU, LiDAR, camera, GNSS)
  • Experience working with geospatial data and coordinate systems
$189,000 - $227,000 a year
Base Salary Range
 
There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.
 
Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
