Sensor Systems Engineer

Hybrid - 3 days from Foster City, CA

Job description

In this role, you'll improve requirement traceability across the existing sensor architecture while defining top-down requirements to guide the evolution of future systems. You'll work closely with autonomy system architects to translate the needs of engineering, product, and safety teams into robust system requirements that enable safe and reliable vehicle operation in real-world conditions.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in systems engineering, a deep understanding of autonomous sensing technologies, and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.

As a Sensor Systems Engineer, you'll:

• Identify and analyze challenging use cases and edge-case scenarios for autonomous driving systems.
• Define and document system requirements for the sensor suite (cameras, radar, lidar) based on scenario analysis.
• Perform trade studies to evaluate system architectures and sensor configurations against requirements.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure designs meet system requirements.
• Develop and maintain clear, detailed technical documentation.
• Present findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required skills

Key Responsibilities: Identify, define, and analyze bounding use cases and challenging scenarios for our autonomous driving system. Develop and document nominal system requirements for the autonomy sensor suite (including cameras, radar, and lidar) based on your analysis. Perform trade studies and analysis to evaluate different system architectures and sensor configurations against known requirements. Collaborate with hardware and software teams to ensure that the system design meets the documented requirements.

Create and maintain detailed technical documentation Present your findings to technical and non-technical audiences

Business driver of role

Required Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Robotics, Physics, or a related field. 6+ years of experience in systems engineering, requirements analysis, or a similar role in the autonomous vehicle, aerospace, or robotics industry. Proven experience in defining and analyzing complex systems and scenarios. Strong understanding of sensor technologies, including cameras, radar, and lidar. Strong technical writing and communication skills Experience using Python or other high level languages (eg.

Matlab) for analysis Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Preferred Qualifications:

Familiarity with state-of-the-art perception and planning algorithms Familiarity with 3d modeling tools (eg. Blender)

Experience with SQL

Experience with Git
