Rivet is building the perception stack that enables robust three/six degrees of freedom tracking, localization and mapping in complex real-world environments, fusing data from cameras and inertial sensors to power SLAM / Visual-Inertial Odometry pipelines. The company needs algorithms and systems that run in real time, handle uncertainty gracefully and provide the foundation for advanced spatial intelligence on edge devices.
Requirements
- strong background in linear algebra, SLAM, VIO and structure-from-motion
- Proficient in C++/Python with experience in real-time optimization
- Familiar with libraries such as OpenCV, Ceres etc.
- Knowledge of sensor modelling, calibration and noise characteristics
- Experience with real-time processing pipelines on embedded or edge hardware
- Familiarity with probabilistic estimation, filtering (e.g. EKF/ factor-graph optimization)
- Preferred track record of applied research in robotics or AR/VR
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize sensor fusion algorithms combining IMU and camera data for SLAM and VIO (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping & Visual Inertial Odometry)
- Implement state of the art structure-from-motion techniques using different sensor modalities to generate consistent 3D reconstructions
- Build Calibration and sync pipelines across multiple sensor types
- Evaluate algos against public benchmarks and real-world datasets
- Integrate outputs into higher-level autonomy or collaborative mapping systems (i.e. shared mapping systems)
- Collaborate with HW, robotics and platform teams to ensure end-to-end performance
- Define metrics, testing frameworks and deployment strategies for production-ready perception systems
Other
- BS with 5+ years of academic or industry experience in inertial sensing, computer vision, robotics or related fields with shipped or published work (or MS with 2+ yrs of the above)
- People with a deep disdain for bureaucracy, empire building, groupthink, dogma, corporate babble, and wasted time
- Teammates who want to work exclusively alongside others at the top of their field
- Experienced, no-nonsense professionals who are execution-focused and deliver high-quality solutions above all else
