About the Team

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We are working on building autonomous delivery robots from the ground-up and other automation solutions as part of DoorDash's core delivery platform. If you have a passion for ensuring the robotic solutions used by millions of people are secure, then we want to talk to you!

About the Role

In this role, you will help us scale our fleet of robots by ensuring we have high-quality HD maps for large geographic areas. You will work cross-functionally with multiple teams to ensure our next generation of robots have highly reliable localization with cost-effective sensors. You will architect robust solutions to calibrate our robot’s sensors and ensure our robots are always operational.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Architect cutting-edge technology for large-scale HD maps.
• Lead a team to develop robust, cost-effective solutions for localization and calibration.
• Have a significant impact on scaling our fleet of robots across multiple cities and states.

We’re excited about you because…

• B.S., M.S., or PhD. in Computer Science, Robotics or related technical field
• 4 years of industry experience working within the AV, Robotics, embedded systems or equivalent industry.
• Experience with C/C and Python.
• You have a strong understanding of 3D geometry, SLAM, localization, and state estimation.
• You have a deep understanding of large-scale mapping, computer vision, and multi-sensor intrinsic / extrinsic calibration systems.
• You have a proven track record of leading projects and teams to deliver high quality technical solutions.
• Nice to haves include:
  • Experience with modern deep learning algorithms and frameworks.
  • Experience with multi-modal localization (e.g. leveraging lidar, camera, and radar sensors to achieve robust localization).
