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. 

We are looking for a Senior Perception Engineer to work on our classical 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.

Responsibilities 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 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 classical techniques such as object detection, clustering, filtering, occupancy grids, data association, and tracking algorithms

Experience with techniques such as Kalman Filtering, Bayesian Methods, and Sensor Fusion (with LiDAR/IMU/GNSS/Camera)

Experience with 3D data and representations (point clouds, meshes, trees, 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-have Knowledge of working principles for RADARs or LiDARs

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
