Desirable

• We’re looking for a generalist sensor engineer that can support the evaluation, bring-up, and integration of Autonomous Vehicle sensors in support of launching our next generation sensor platform
• In this role, the candidate needs to be able to understand the data a sensor provides, create novel setups to evaluate unique performance conditions, and then determine key results from collected data
• This role also involves hands-on integration and debug of our next generation sensors as we build new platforms
• Develop and execute sensor test procedures that replicate real world conditions
• Gather and process sensor test data to provide meaningful results on performance
• Coordinate with partner teams to support the integration and debug of our next gen sensing platform
• Work closely with teammates to support bench and lab level testing of new sensing technologies
• Troubleshoot and root cause sensor performance issues both on bench and on car
• Coordinate with vendors to root cause sensor hardware and software issues
• Develop Python data pipelines for varied sensor data streams
