Senior Perception Engineer

About us:

Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions. 

Role Overview:

We are looking for a Senior Perception Engineer to work on our perception algorithms stack. You will be part of a growing team focused on exploring how far Aeva’s 4D FMCW LiDARs can push autonomous driving performance.

What you'll do:

• Contribute to Aeva’s 4D perception stack that will be deployed in production
• Ability to quickly prototype novel algorithms, implement them, and iterate fast
• Ensure code is optimized for performance and scalability
• Adhere to coding standards and best practices to ensure consistency and quality in all code
• Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure timely and accurate completion with documentation and tests

What you'll have:

• 3+ years of experience with demonstrated ability to create and deploy real-time perception systems
• Have a MS or PhD in a relevant program such as Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Experience with techniques such as object detection, clustering, filtering, data association, and tracking algorithms
• Experience with 3D data and representations (point clouds, meshes, etc.)
• Strong fundamentals of linear algebra and 3D geometry
• Highly skilled in C++ development and experience with the Linux environment
• Skilled in scripting languages such as Python and Bash

Nice to haves:

• Knowledge of working principles for RADARs or LiDARs
• Experience with real-time sensor fusion techniques (e.g. LiDAR and camera)
• Experience with robotics or autonomous vehicle software frameworks such as ROS/ROS2
• Experience with run-time optimization techniques (e.g. parallelization, vectorization, cache-friendly development)
• Experience with modern build systems such as Bazel or similar
