We build robotic vehicles to improve logistics safety, forge a greener Earth, and enhance human lives.\nWe are a closely-knit team aspiring to change the world through disruptive technology. We are innovators. We are tinkerers. We are problem-solvers. And we have a fair amount of magic dust up our sleeves. We have a plan for fleet-level deployment of autonomous vehicles, and we are looking for the best-of-the-best to join us in making this a reality.\nAbout Venti Technologies\nBased in the U.S. and Asia, Venti Technologies is the leader in safe-speed autonomous logistics systems, developing the future of goods transportation. Using rigorous mathematics, deep learning, and theoretically-grounded algorithms, Venti has a proprietary collection of autonomy technologies including a suite of powerful logistics algorithms. Venti’s proven value proposition of saving costs, increasing vehicle utilization, and improving safety is recognized by customers and driving growth. Launched in 2018, Venti brings together an unsurpassed team internationally. The company has autonomous systems deployed in Asia for industrial and logistics sites and a growing pipeline. Venti has offices in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), Suzhou (China), and Singapore - our Asian headquarters.\nRole responsibilities\nTo keep abreast of the current state-of-the-art localization algorithms, with specific focus on LiDAR and Visual-Inertial Odometry.\n\nTo study and assist with development variety of algorithms related to localization and mapping e.g., based on EKF and other filtering techniques, and to be able to implement the odometry system for autonomous ground vehicles with high computation efficiency.\n\nCarrying out tests for different methods and coming up with detailed summary of evaluation and figuring out problems and coming up with ideas to solve problems.\n\nSoftware design and development.\n\nRequired Experience\nUndergraduate and master's degree students in Computer Science, Robotics, or related fields are welcome.\n\nStrong familiarity with localization algorithms, not limited to feature extraction, semantic segmentation, full SLAM techniques\n\nExperience with probabilistic robotics\n\nExperience with research in robotics or related fields involving sensors\n\nExperience with C++ and Python in a Linux environment\n\nFlexible problem-solver\n\nBonus Experience\nExperience with ROS or other similar middleware\n\nExperience with data structures, object-oriented programming\n\nExperience with real world robotics deployment\n\nExperience with sensor calibration\n\nExperience with both vision and lidar\n\nExperience with machine learning\n\nExperience with GPU programming\n\nSalary is commensurate with experience. We also offer world-class benefits, fantastic culture, flexible working arrangements, and a great international working environment.
