Job Description
Senior Mapping Engineer (Large-Scale HD Mapping) First Key Hire
Circa 80k London based
Want to work for an advanced start up building real-world autonomous systems Were looking for a highly skilled Senior Mapping Engineer to become the first dedicated mapping lead. This is a high-ownership role where youll take charge of the high-accuracy large-scale mapping capability set the technical roadmap and grow and mentor a mapping team as deployments scale.
Youll maintain and evolve an existing mapping codebase enhancing accuracy stability and scalability across challenging industrial and autonomous environments. Working closely with perception localization and navigation youll ensure themaps are drift-free up-to-date and deeply integrated into the autonomy stackfrom raw sensor data to validated deployed map products.
What youll do
Own and advance scalable LiDAR- and vision-based mapping pipelines.
Build and improve 2D/3D representations: occupancy grids vector/HD maps semantic layers environment models.
Lead multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR cameras radar GNSS/INS odometry) into coherent consistent map outputs.
Deliver large-scale capabilities like multi-session mapping fleet workflows map versioning delta updates and distributed map generation.
Maintain tight integration with SLAM/Localization to ensure stable drift-free deployment performance.
Define KPIs and validation frameworks for map accuracy completeness and consistency.
Translate state-of-the-art research (SLAM semantic mapping multi-modal reconstruction) into production systems.
Set best practices and technical standards to support future team growth.
Experience required
MSc/PhD in Robotics Computer Vision Computer Science or related field.
45 years hands-on mapping experience in autonomous systems or robotics.
Deep expertise in LiDAR/point-cloud processing (PCL Open3D custom pipelines).
Strong background in vision-based mapping / visual SLAM and multi-sensor fusion.
Proficiency in C with strong experience in ROS2.
Solid grounding in estimation optimization geometry kinematics and TF2.
Why join
Youll own a mission-critical autonomy capability shape the map product and technical direction work on live deployments and step into a clear path to build and lead your own mapping team.
