Position: Software Engineer, Perception (Robotics)

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
