Lucid Motors is seeking a Software Engineer to develop and optimize perception algorithms for autonomous driving and ADAS systems, focusing on sensor fusion, localization, occupancy grid fusion, and drivable space estimation to enhance the autonomous driving capabilities of Lucid vehicles.
Requirements
- Proficient in Python and C++ for real-time and high-performance computing.
- Skilled in Linux development, debugging, and system optimization.
- Experience with sensor fusion (e.g., Kalman Filters, Bayesian Inference).
- Strong knowledge of probabilistic models, SLAM, and Kalman filtering.
- Familiar with deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Knowledgeable about ROS, middleware frameworks, and real-time constraints.
- Vehicle testing experience including data collection and algorithm validation.
- Multi-modal sensor fusion experience for automotive applications.
- Hands-on HD maps, BEV-based perception, and occupancy grid mapping.
- Understanding of deep learning architectures, including Transformer models.
- Deployed models on NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Xavier, or similar hardware.
- Knowledge of CAN bus, automotive networks, and vehicle interfacing.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize perception algorithms for Level 2/3 autonomous driving systems using camera, LiDAR, and RADAR data.
- Implement and enhance vehicle localization using GNSS, IMU, LiDAR, and visual odometry.
- Design and develop occupancy grid fusion techniques for environment modeling and obstacle detection.
- Implement drivable space estimation using classical methods (e.g., Bayesian models, rule-based) and deep learning approaches (e.g., BEV segmentation, Transformer models).
- Develop custom tools for sensor data visualization, debugging, and algorithm evaluation.
