*Position:* Software Engineer, Device Calibration (Project Tango)<br>
*Location:* Mountain View, CA, USA<br>
*Type:* Full-Time<br>
*Google Job Portable Posting: *<br>
<a href="https://www.google.com/about/careers/search#!t=jo&jid=111045001&" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/about/careers/search#!t=jo&jid=111045001&</a><br>
<br>
*About Project Tango:*<br>
The goal of Project Tango is to give a human-scale understanding of space<br>
and motion to mobile devices. This includes phones, tablets, and virtual<br>
reality headsets. Our team has been working with universities, research<br>
labs, and industrial partners spanning many countries around the world to<br>
build on the last decade of research in robotics and computer vision,<br>
concentrating that technology into a mobile device. A Project Tango-enabled<br>
device combines data from a fisheye camera, 3D depth sensor, and IMU<br>
(gyroscopes and accelerometers) to track its own position and orientation<br>
in the world, while also building a 3D representation of its surroundings.<br>
This all happens on-device in real-time.<br>
See <a href="https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/atap/project-tango/</a> for more info about Project<br>
Tango.<br>
<br>
*About this Role:*<br>
With so many different sensors working together to produce a single<br>
cohesive estimate about the device and its surroundings, device calibration<br>
is critical to Project Tango?s success. As a Software Engineer on Project<br>
Tango?s calibration team, you will help support all aspects of device<br>
calibration. This includes developing algorithms for calibrating devices,<br>
designing automated workflows for calibrating devices on a high-throughput<br>
production line, and analyzing existing datasets and devices to quantify<br>
the effects of calibration on device performance.<br>
<br>
*Responsibilities:*<br>
- Be a technical contributor to an interactive C/C++ system.<br>
- Participate in software architecture and design meetings.<br>
- Work with an existing engineering team using an Agile-like process.<br>
<br>
*Minimum qualifications:*<br>
- BA/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.<br>
- Programming experience in C or C++.<br>
<br>
*Preferred qualifications:*<br>
- MS or PhD degree in a related field.<br>
- Expertise in any of the following areas:<br>
- Computer Vision<br>
- Camera/Lens Calibration<br>
- 3D Vision and VSLAM<br>
- 2D image processing<br>
- IMU sensor processing<br>
- non-linear optimization/bundle adjustment algorithms<br>
- Strong Python programming skills.<br>

<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
As discussed with a few people, I created a new SIG for manipulation /<br>
grasping: <a href="http://wiki.ros.org/sig/manipulation" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.ros.org/sig/manipulation</a>.<br>
<br>
The idea is to create a group of people interested in these subjects to<br>
discuss common problems, focalise some of the development, etc...<br>
<br>
Here's a short list of topics that could be of interest (this is of course<br>
non exhaustive):<br>
- common messages and interfaces<br>
- tactile sensors<br>
- planners<br>
- generic nodes / base class<br>
- new interesting hardware<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Ugo<br>
