- Rapidly prototype and run de-risking experiments for the next-generation Perception SW stack that is designed to be more portable to the new sensor HW
- Maintain and run evaluations of existing or hypothetical new sensor hardware to help make decisions on sensor HW options. Write up analyses that summarize high-level recommendations using the evidence from these evaluations
You have:- BS in Computer Science, Robotics, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong experience programming in C++ with robust and efficient code
- Strong software architecture skills
- Experience with sensor data processing (Lidar, camera, or Radar)
- Experience with building, integrating, debugging and evaluating ML-based systems
