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 software engineer with a focus on algorithm development for point cloud processing in production as well as simulation platforms.
What you'll do:
- Design and develop point cloud processing algorithms for detection, filtering, and tracking in C++ in production software and simulation platforms
- Translate floating-point models to fixed-point for optimal implementation on ARM processors and FPGAs
- Be involved in all stages of algorithm development including data collection, analysis, development, and test
- 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
What you'll have:
- 3+ years of experience in developing C/C++ applications with a focus on algorithm design
- Good fundamentals in mathematics, probability theory, estimation theory, and excellent problem-solving skills
- Bachelor degree with 3+ years of industry experience or a masters degree working on software development and algorithm design
- Willingness to learn, ability to communicate well, and demonstrate healthy drive and energy to understand and solve complex system-level problems
Nice-to-haves:
- 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's in it for you:
- Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
- Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
- Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
- Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
