Company mission
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.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will be a systems engineering expert capable of translating high-level requirements into functional and detailed specifications while overseeing system development and testing
- Master’s or PhD in a relevant field with 3+ years of experience in systems engineering with a focus on LiDAR, radar, or optical sensor technologies
- Proficiency in systems modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, SysML, or similar)
- Experience with sensor calibration, validation, and testing procedures
- Familiarity with software development, control systems, and embedded systems
- Excellent communication skills, ability to work in cross-functional teams, and strong analytical thinking
- Experience interacting with customers and other stakeholders in collecting and distilling requirements
- Preferred: Knowledge of safety standards and regulations related to autonomous systems (ISO 26262, ASPICE)
What the job involves
- We are seeking a LiDAR Systems Architect with a strong background in systems engineering and hands-on experience with sensor technology
- This role involves analyzing customer and stakeholder requirements, developing system-level models, and leading the design and integration of LiDAR sensor systems
- Requirements Analysis: Analyze and interpret customer and stakeholder requirements to define system-level specifications for LiDAR sensor architecture
- System Modeling and Design: Develop and validate system models that simulate LiDAR functionality and optimize performance metrics
- Sensor Development and Integration: Provide hands-on expertise with the sensor hardware and software to analyze system-level issues
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with hardware, software, and algorithm development teams, lead technical discussions, and contribute to design reviews
- Systems Engineering Practices: Apply systems engineering principles, including requirements traceability, risk management, and verification and validation planning, throughout the project lifecycle
- Documentation and Reporting: Develop and maintain detailed technical documentation, including system specifications, architecture diagrams, and test plans
Our take
The development of self-driving cars presents enormous opportunities for transportation, shipping, and ride-hailing industries, but getting these cars to run flawlessly is difficult. Cameras and radar sensors are used to detect obstacles for safe automated driving, but existing technology does not analyze enough data to meet these expectations.
Aeva builds sensory perception technology that maps the physical world around a vehicle on a granular basis to contribute towards the development of fully self-driving cars. The sensory system relies on what the company describes as being the world’s first 4D LiDAR-on-Chip. This technology comprises sensors that detect objects and events up to 300m away, recognize velocity-per-pixel, and are immune to interference from neighbouring frequencies.
Companies such as Tesla are already developing successful and safe fully self-driving software for their cars, but Aeva's approach to LiDar presents some serious competition to the existing camera-based technology. Despite further competition from Luminar and Velodyne, Aeva remains unique due to the condensed presentation of their technology into a tiny chip.
