About the role

Fruition Group US is partnering with an autonomous trucking technology company to hire a Principal Engineer, Mapping and Localization in the San Francisco Bay Area. You will shape architecture, decide build-vs-buy, and set the long-term roadmap for localization and mapping, while remaining hands-on with the hardest problems in the stack. You will lead sensor fusion and odometry design, optimize for real-time operation, and mentor junior engineers as you scale map data across a fleet.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
