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
- MS or PhD in a relevant engineering program such as Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, etc
- 1 to 2 years of experience working with perception technologies or related industries
- Highly skilled in C++ development and experience with the Linux environment
- Skilled in scripting languages such as Python and Bash
- Familiarity with basic linear algebra, non-linear solvers, and 3D geometry
Desirable
- Experience with 3D data and representation techniques (point clouds, meshes, etc.)
- Experience with robotics or autonomous vehicle software frameworks such as ROS/ROS2
- Experience with modern build systems such as Bazel or similar
- Familiarity with run-time optimization techniques (e.g. parallelization, SIMD vectorization, cache-friendly development)
- Familiarity with C++ (automotive) safety standards (such as CERT, AUTOSAR, MISRA, or similar)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a C++ Software Engineer in our Perception team. You will be working closely with the algorithms team to help come up with innovative ways to implement, optimize, and deploy Aeva’s 4D FMCW LiDAR algorithms to production and push autonomous driving performance
- Contribute to Aeva’s production software and algorithms with a focus on automotive safety and performance optimizations
- Adhere to coding standards and best practices to ensure consistency and quality in all code
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver successful and high-impact projects
- Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure timely and accurate completion with documentation and tests
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.
