Talent Locker
Lakewood Road 39, South East London
£80,000 - 80,000
Requirements
Must:
- MSc or PhD in Robotics, Computer Vision, Computer Science, Mathematics or a related field
- 4-5 years building mapping systems for robotics or autonomous platforms operating in real-world environments
- Proven experience creating high-accuracy 3D / HD maps designed for reuse across deployments, not just one-off mapping or research prototypes
- Strong understanding of the mathematical foundations behind mapping, including pose graphs, factor graphs, bundle adjustment and probabilistic estimation
- Deep experience working with LiDAR and large-scale point cloud processing (PCL, Open3D or similar)
- Experience combining multiple sensor sources such as LiDAR, cameras, GNSS/INS and odometry to generate globally consistent maps
- Strong C++ development with experience working in ROS2-based autonomy stacks
- Solid grounding in geometry, coordinate frames, kinematics and transformation systems
Responsibilities
- Designing and evolving scalable LiDAR and vision-based mapping pipelines
- Creating high-fidelity 3D / HD maps suitable for repeated autonomous deployments
- Building robust spatial representations including occupancy grids, vector maps, semantic layers and environment models
- Applying optimisation techniques such as factor graphs, bundle adjustment and pose graph optimisation to maintain global consistency
- Leading multi-sensor fusion across LiDAR, cameras, radar, GNSS/INS and odometry
- Developing large-scale capabilities including multi-session mapping, map versioning, delta updates and fleet workflows
- Ensuring tight coupling between mapping, SLAM and localisation to guarantee drift-free operation
- Defining accuracy, consistency and validation frameworks for deployed maps
