The Sensors and System Software team is looking to integrate diverse sensors into their software pipelines for autonomous driving, requiring the development of core software that enables vehicles to perceive and understand their surroundings.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python programming.
- Understanding fundamentals of Camera, LiDAR, Radar, IMU, GNSS, and other sensor technologies, including their principles of operation, pros/cons, limitations, and calibration techniques.
- Familiarity with ROS or similar frameworks and related communication protocols.
- Experience with Linux networking and debugging network-related issues.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
- Experience with developing drivers and software for Radar, LiDAR, camera or expertise in sensor development.
- Experience with real-time embedded systems, including working in an asynchronous environment with multiple real-time, low-latency, safety-critical systems processes, threads, timers, interrupts.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, optimize and maintain low-latency, robust device drivers and software pipelines for Camera, LiDAR, Radar, IMU, GNSS, Microphones, and other autonomous vehicle sensors and actuators.
- Develop and optimize algorithms for timestamping, filtering and preprocessing sensor data to remove noise, false detections and artifacts before providing synchronized data to the perception and localization subsystems.
- Develop and maintain data analysis pipelines to monitor sensor health, provide early detection of out-of-spec behavior and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including embedded, perception and localization to integrate sensors into the overall autonomous vehicle platform, to ensure optimal sensor performance and debug the hardware and software related issues.
- Act as the expert in the sensor domain by understanding the technical characteristics, features and available parameters of the sensors, as well as their underlying principles of operation and application nuances.
Other
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in production software development.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced dynamic environment.
- Candidates are required to be authorized to work in the U.S.
- The employer is not offering relocation sponsorship, and remote work options are not available.
