Job Description:

We are seeking a software engineer to focus on algorithm development for point cloud processing in production software. This role will focus on driving CPU and memory optimizations across our LiDAR data path, ensuring efficient real-time processing as sensor capabilities and feature complexity continue to grow.

Job Responsibility:

  • Analyze, benchmark and implement point cloud processing algorithms to achieve CPU, memory, and latency targets
  • Implement signal processing, detection, and lidar algorithms in C++ in production software and simulation platforms
  • Translate floating-point models to fixed-point for optimal implementation on ARM processors and FPGAs
  • Profile, triage, and root-cause complex performance issues in live sensor systems
  • Participate in the team's development processes, including requirements and design documentation, test-plan generation and execution, peer design and code reviews, process feedback, and improvements

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of industry experience, or Master’s degree with 3+ years of experience in software development and algorithm design
  • Strong fundamentals in mathematics and excellent problem-solving skills
  • Proven experience profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing embedded systems
  • Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, communicate effectively, and show initiative in solving complex system-level problems

Nice to have:

  • Experience working on point cloud processing algorithms for detection, estimation, and filtering
  • Worked on fixed-point algorithm implementation on low-end processors
  • Knowledge of working principles for radars/lidars
  • Experience optimizing algorithms for different embedded platforms including ARM and SIMD processors
What we offer:
  • Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
  • Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 401k plan
  • Life and disability benefits
  • Flexible time off
  • Paid parental leave
  • 11 paid holidays annually
  • Pre-tax commuter and health care/dependent care accounts
