From Home Localization Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a From Home Localization Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a From Home Localization Engineer, you need strong programming skills, a solid understanding of software internationalization/localization processes, and usually a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with localization tools (such as SDL Trados, memoQ, or XLIFF editors), version control systems (like Git), and automation scripts is typically required. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and self-management skills are essential for remote collaboration and troubleshooting. These skills ensure the accurate adaptation of software for global markets while maintaining productivity and quality in a remote work environment.

How does a From Home Localization Engineer typically collaborate with global teams to ensure high-quality localized products?

As a From Home Localization Engineer, you'll regularly coordinate with project managers, developers, translators, and QA teams across different regions to facilitate seamless localization workflows. Communication is often managed through video calls, project management platforms, and shared documentation. You may be responsible for clarifying technical specifications, resolving internationalization bugs, and supporting the integration of localized assets. Effective collaboration ensures that language and cultural nuances are accurately reflected while maintaining project timelines and technical standards.

What are 'From Home Localization Engineers'?

From Home Localization Engineers are professionals who work remotely to adapt software, websites, games, or digital content for different languages and regions. They focus on both the linguistic and technical aspects of localization, ensuring products are culturally appropriate and function correctly in various locales. Their responsibilities often include managing translation workflows, testing localized products, and troubleshooting issues related to internationalization. Working from home allows them to collaborate with global teams and use specialized tools for localization tasks.

What is the difference between From Home Localization Engineer vs From Home Translator?

AspectFrom Home Localization EngineerFrom Home Translator
CredentialsDegree in linguistics, computer science, or related fields; technical skillsLanguage proficiency, translation certifications (e.g., ATA)
Work EnvironmentCollaborates with developers, uses specialized localization tools, often in tech companiesWorks independently or with teams, translating documents or content remotely
Industry UsageTech, gaming, software development companiesPublishing, media, corporate communication
Search & Comparison IntentTechnical localization roles requiring engineering skillsLanguage translation and content adaptation

From Home Localization Engineers focus on adapting software, games, and digital content for different markets using technical skills, while From Home Translators primarily convert written content between languages. Both roles are remote and require language proficiency, but localization engineers need additional technical expertise to work with software tools and development teams.

Senior / Staff Software Engineer, Localization

Waabi

Pittsburgh, PA

$141K - $242K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 29 days ago

Job description

Waabi, founded by AI visionary Raquel Urtasun, is the leader in Physical AI. With a world-class team, we're unlocking the next era of autonomous transportation with technology that's powering commercial autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Waabi is backed by and partners with world leaders in AI, automotive, logistics, and deep tech.

With offices in Toronto, San Francisco, Dallas, and Pittsburgh, Waabi is growing quickly and looking for diverse, innovative and collaborative candidates who want to impact the world in a positive way. To learn more visit: www.waabi.ai

The Localization team at Waabi is responsible for answering one of the most critical questions in autonomous driving: exactly where is the vehicle right now?  As a Senior or Staff Software Engineer on the Localization team, you will be a domain expert architecting the highly precise, robust state estimation systems that keep our robotaxis and 80,000lb trucks safely on the road. You will design algorithms that seamlessly fuse data across a complex sensor suite to provide real-time, centimeter-accurate pose estimation, even in degraded or GPS-denied environments. You will collaborate with world-renowned engineers and scientists to merge traditional robotics state estimation with Waabi's AI-first approach. 
 
You will...
- Act as a deep domain expert in state estimation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in real-time vehicle localization.
- Design, implement, and optimize robust algorithms for multi-sensor fusion leveraging IMU, LiDAR, Radar, Camera, GNSS, wheel encoders, etc.
- Architect and develop mathematical models to be used in factor graph optimization, Kalman filters, etc.
- Develop highly optimized, low-latency Rust code that runs directly on the vehicle's various compute devices in real-time.
- Partner with the Perception and Mapping teams to tightly couple map data and semantic landmarks into the localization pipeline.
- Build rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure localization accuracy, integrity, fault tolerance across millions of miles in Waabi World (our simulation platform) and on physical test tracks.
 
Qualifications:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Aerospace/Electrical Engineering, or related field, with a minimum for 5 years of industry experience.
- Deep, rigorous domain expertise in probabilistic robotics, state estimation, and 3D geometry (Gaussian estimation, filtering, smoothing, and mapping). 
- Proven experience building and optimizing online and/or offline Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems, including deep knowledge of point-cloud registration algorithms (e.g. ICP).
- Extensive hands-on experience processing and fusing data from physical sensors (IMU, LiDAR, Radar, GNSS, etc.).
- Exceptional systems-level programming skills in modern C++ and/or Rust, with a strong understanding of memory management, concurrency, and real-time computing constraints.
- Proficiency in python for data analysis, prototyping, and tooling.
- Strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory.
- A proven track record of deploying complex state estimation algorithms onto physical robots or autonomous vehicles operating in the real world. 
 
Bonus/nice to have:
- Familiarity with industry-standard optimization libraries (e.g., GTSAM, Ceres Solver, g2o).
- Experience with "learned localization" - applying deep learning and AI/ML models to improve traditional state estimation and feature matching.
- Experience with high-speed highway autonomous driving constraints.
The US yearly salary range for this role is: $141,000 - $242,000 USD in addition to competitive perks & benefits. Waabi (US) Inc.’s yearly salary ranges are determined based on several factors in accordance with the Company’s compensation practices. The salary base range is reflective of the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations.  Note: The Company provides additional compensation for employees in this role, including equity incentive awards and an annual performance bonus.

Perks/Benefits:
- Competitive compensation and equity awards.
- Health and Wellness benefits encompassing Medical, Dental and Vision coverage (for full-time employees only).
- Unlimited Vacation.
- Flexible hours and Work from Home support.
- Daily drinks, snacks and catered meals (when in office).
- Regularly scheduled team building activities and social events both on-site, off-site & virtually.
- As we grow, this list continues to evolve!
