At GPR, we are on a mission to help industry leaders unlock the full potential of autonomy through subterranean data. By using an ultra-wideband radar to create a 3-D map of the road's unique subsurface, GPR's technology is unaffected by adverse weather or terrain conditions, GPS availability, and other common fail points faced by traditional localization technologies. This translates to a safer and more reliable automated driving experience. Visit us at www.gpr.com.

COMPANY
GPR, a subsidiary of BTG Positioning Systems, is radically accelerating the arrival of self-driving vehicles by tackling some of the most challenging problems that stand in the way of safe and reliable navigation. Every road in the world has a unique subsurface signature. GPR uses radar to create a map of those subsurface signatures from which self-driving vehicles can navigate. Vehicles using GPR are unaffected by common but challenging road conditions like snow, heavy rain, fog, or poor lane markings. The BTG / GPR team is working to deliver our highly accurate, highly available, and highly reliable positioning solution to enable vehicle autonomy to multiple applications ranging from seaport automation to autonomous mining.
ROLE
We're looking for a sharp, creative and experienced mapping and localization engineer to play a key role in GPR's product development. You'll be a key member of the mapping and localization team developing algorithms and contributing to the code base. You’ll develop new software on a Linux platform for the GPR localization system. You will design, code, and analyze core functions and algorithms for our radar processing, map generation, and localization. Your focus will be on developing commercial radar systems for autonomous vehicles. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to support some of the leading companies in autonomous vehicles as they integrate GPR into their product.
