About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Review HD map geospatial data including lane geometry, road boundaries, intersections, signage, and lane connectivity against internal quality specifications and ground-truth sources
Perform QC on map features derived from LiDAR point clouds, aerial/satellite imagery, and vehicle-collected sensor data
Identify, document, and triage map defects, escalating safety-critical issues to mapping and autonomy engineering teams
Define and refine QC metrics, sampling strategies, and audit workflows to measure and improve map accuracy at scale
Partner with mapping vendors and internal teams to communicate quality standards and drive defect resolution
Analyze recurring defect patterns and feed findings back into upstream map creation and annotation processes
Maintain documentation of QC procedures, edge cases, and regional/route-specific map requirements
Support readiness reviews for new lanes, corridors, or operational design domains before launch
Collaborate with engineering teams to create tailored QC workflows and optimize scalable mapping processes

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in GIS, Geomatics, Geography, Surveying, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
1–3 years of experience (QC Engineer I) or 3–5 years (QC Engineer II) in geospatial data QC, map production, GIS analysis, or a related quality/annotation role
Experience working with geospatial data formats (e.g., shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML) and coordinate/projection systems
Familiarity with GIS tools (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS) and/or LiDAR/point cloud viewers
Strong attention to detail and ability to identify subtle spatial or geometric inconsistencies in large datasets
Comfort working with large datasets and defining repeatable, data-driven QC processes
Clear written communication skills for documenting defects and QC standards for both technical and non-technical audiences
Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and third-party vendor teams
For QC Engineer II: Experience designing or improving QC processes/tooling from the ground up
For QC Engineer II: Track record of mentoring junior reviewers or leading vendor/annotator quality calibration
For QC Engineer II: Experience defining map quality metrics and reporting on trends to engineering stakeholders
HD mapping experience, particularly for autonomous vehicles or trucking
Familiarity with Lanelet2, OpenDRIVE, or OpenStreetMap
Experience with LiDAR point cloud processing/classification tools such as TerraScan, TerraSolid, or LP360
Scripting experience with Python or SQL for automating QC checks or building spatial queries such as PostGIS
Experience with highway/interstate corridor mapping
Prior experience working with or managing outsourced/vendor annotation teams
Familiarity with functional safety or quality standards such as ISO 26262 or ASPICE
