Lucidmotors Staff Mapping Software Engineer at Lucidmotors leading development of large-scale mapping systems using vehicle data to create and maintain production-quality map assets. Define architecture and algorithms for lane-level maps, road graphs, and spatial intelligence products.

Responsibilities

The GeoAI team is building the next generation of fleet-powered mapping infrastructure that
continuously learns from vehicle observations and automatically generates, validates, and updates
map content at scale.
We are seeking a Staff Mapping Engineer to lead the development of large-scale mapping systems
that leverage data collected from engineering fleets, FOT programs, and customer vehicles to create
and maintain production-quality map assets. You will define the architecture and algorithms that
transform millions of vehicle miles into continuously improving lane-level maps, road graphs,
localization maps, map change detections, and spatial intelligence products for Navigation, ADAS,
and Autonomous Driving.
This role requires deep expertise in mapping, large-scale optimization, SLAM, sensor fusion, and
cloud-scale data processing
