What You'll Get To Do
Software Development & Mapping

• Design, develop, and maintain production-grade software for 3D mapping solutions.
• Deploy large-scale mapping systems and data processing pipelines into production.
• Validate mapping systems and algorithms using real robots and sensors in complex, unstructured environments.
• Build and improve internal tooling, automation, and benchmarking infrastructure to increase reliability and repeatability.

Technical Project Management

• Own mapping projects from planning through delivery, coordinating execution across software, hardware, systems, data, and operations.
• Translate technical and customer requirements into project plans, milestones, and delivery timelines.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product, operations, and customer-facing teams.
• Track project progress using Jira, Confluence, or similar tools while managing scope, schedules, and dependencies.
• Identify risks early, communicate project status clearly, and drive issues to resolution.
• Develop documentation, processes, and playbooks that improve execution and scalability across future projects.

What You Have

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
