Senior Software Engineer- Perception & Sensor Fusion

Job Description

About the role:

As a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Perception & Sensor Fusion, you will design and develop the real-time perception stack running onboard each Mapless vehicle. You will be responsible for creating the next iteration of our on-vehicle safety cocoon fusing inputs from multiple sensors, such as pointclouds and processed camera data, to detect and mitigate potential hazards. Our perception stack is a safety critical component, and your work will be essential to ensuring robust and reliable performance of the Mapless fleet. 

What you will do:

• Implement and maintain sensor fusion algorithms and pipeline for Lidar & camera-based perception in C++
• Develop methods, metrics, and tests to improve the performance of the perception pipeline
• Work with large amounts of real and synthetic data to continuously improve the algorithmic and computational performance of the perception stack
• Aid in sensor requirements specification and sensor sourcing with hardware teams & suppliers
• Define and conduct sensor test procedures (test bench) 
• Implement off-line and on-line sensor calibration processes and tools
• Develop sensor models for simulation and SIL testing
• Quantify sensor failures and insufficiencies (e.g., adverse weather conditions) in collaboration with safety engineering

Requirements

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, EE, Robotics, MechE, or a related field

• 5+ years of modern C++ software development experience (C++11 and beyond) on Unix/Linux

• Experience designing, developing, and testing perception systems with different sensing modalities, e.g., camera image processing, point cloud processing, computer vision
• Experience developing software with real-time constraints

Preferred:

• Software development expertise on automotive or other real-time embedded platforms
• Solid background in parallelism and concurrency
• Experience with GPGPU programming (CUDA)
