This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to a Technical Lead Manager.
You will:- Work with a creative team of people who are responsible for the bring-up of Perception SW on new hardware platforms (vehicles, sensors, compute)
- Evolve existing SW to abstract away superfluous differences between various sensor hardware and encapsulate hardware-specific logic, by writing design docs, gathering feedback, implementing the change and testing it and monitoring its continued health and maintaining it during its lifespan
- 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
- Experience with bring-up of new sensors or vehicle platforms
We prefer:- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
