About The Role

As part of the Perception team, you will help design and build the sensor data pipeline that powers our self-driving vehicles. Our team is responsible for turning raw sensor signals into reliable, real-time information that enables advanced perception models. You’ll work across multiple sensing modalities — cameras, lidars, radars, IMUs, microphones, and more — and help ensure that our autonomous driving system can perceive the world with accuracy and robustness. This role is a great fit for engineers excited about robotics, sensor systems, and building the bridge between hardware and AI models.

Responsibilities

  • Work on algorithms, tools, and models that extract critical information from multi-modal sensors in real time.
  • Develop and validate systems that ensure sensor data is accurate, synchronized, and reliable, including calibration, error detection, and health monitoring.
  • Integrate sensor data into the perception stack and build efficient data flows that power real-time algorithms.
  • Preprocess multi-sensor inputs to improve perception performance, such as time synchronization and ground detection.
  • Contribute to the overall perception pipeline, from raw sensor integration to AI-ready features.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Vision, or related fields.
  • Solid programming skills in C++ and / or Python.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with exposure to real-time or systems-level software a plus.
  • Familiarity with one or more areas : robotics, computer vision, signal processing, or deep learning.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
  • Compensation and Benefits

    Base Salary Range : $120,000 - $200,000 Annually

    Compensation may vary outside of this range depending on many factors, including the candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, experience, and location. Base pay is one part of the Total Compensation and this role may be eligible for bonuses / incentives and restricted stock units.

    Also, we provide the following benefits to the eligible employees :

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (Traditional and Roth 401k)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation & Public Holidays)
