About this role
What you'll do • Set up and run tests on LiDAR sensors in the lab and on vehicles for comprehensive characterization
• Develop automation software to accelerate lab testing and data collection
• Support field data collection across real-world scenarios, including preparing sensors and test setups and logging test conditions.
• Investigate system-level issues: reproduce the problem, collect diagnostic data, and work with the relevant engineering teams to find the root cause.
• Help develop, run, and verify sensor calibration procedures.
• Analyze sensor data with Python or MATLAB, and document and present results to the Systems team and cross-functional partners.
What you'll have • An MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics/Photonics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with 0–2 years of industry experience.
• Hands-on lab experience with sensors, optical systems, or electronic test equipment from research, internships, or industry.
• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for data analysis, and a foundation in signal processing, optics, or measurement statistics.
• A methodical approach to debugging problems that span hardware, firmware, and software, and clear written and verbal communication.
• Experience with LiDAR, radar, or other perception sensors, FMCW or coherent detection, or sensor calibration is a plus.
What's in it for you • Spend most of your time hands-on with a cutting-edge 4D LiDAR sensor and learn the full system end to end.
• Work alongside and be mentored by experienced systems, optics, and signal processing engineers.
• Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team.
