To democratize the use and development of advanced driver assistance systems.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of experience delivering complex, production-quality software
- Expert-level Python skills and solid software‑design experience
- Proficiency with Git and familiarity with C++
- Comfortable on Linux: command‑line fluency, Bash scripting, and debugging
- Working knowledge of ROS (preferably ROS 2)
- Hands-on experience with HILS, SILS, or board-level simulation system setup and maintenance
- Experience with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet) and data logging workflows
- Hands‑on experience in ADAS, computer vision, autonomous driving, or robotics
Desirable
- Working knowledge of OpenCV
- Knowledge of hardware debugging and electrical/electronic system integration
- Master’s degree or higher in a relevant area
What the job involves
- At Phantom AI, we’re on a mission to redefine vehicle safety and autonomy
- Our System & Validation Team builds the tools and infrastructure to ensure our products meet the highest reliability, performance, and safety standards
- We’re looking for a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of software design, machine learning, data science, and simulation
- Simulation: You'll improve the efficiency, reliability, and trustworthiness of our simulation framework(HILS and SILS). Our simulations replay real-world sensor and vehicle data into the vision software running on actual boards, enabling deterministic validation of behavior and decision-making
- Data Logging & Telemetry: Design and maintain high-throughput logging services to capture raw sensor data (Camera, Radar, LiDAR) and vehicle bus data (CAN/Ethernet). Ensure data integrity and time synchronization across distributed systems
- Optimize & Scale: Enhance the performance and scalability of our evaluation frameworks
- Build Validation Infrastructure: Design, develop, and maintain tools for data collection, data processing, simulation, evaluation, visualization, and analysis
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with ML researchers, perception engineers, and vehicle test engineers to translate requirements into robust vision software
Our take
Autonomous Vehicles will undoubtedly overtake production of manually operated cars in the future, the question is when and how? Phantom AI has developed an autonomous driving platform that fully integrates computer vision and sensor data with control capabilities to create high performing AI for manufacturers of autonomous vehicles.
With a great deal of research and development currently ongoing in the area of self-driving vehicles, the technologies are moving forward, but the costs involved may deter manufacturers from bringing self-driving cars to the production stage. Phantom AI's system creates a realistically affordable path to self-driving cars, however the company believes democratizing technologies such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Emergency Lane Support is the first priority before tackling a fully self-driving vehicle.
With this focus on reducing accidents and making every day driving more enjoyable, the company has chosen a commendable application for its industry-leading computer vision tech and complementary offerings. Phantom AI has raised impressive funds towards accelerating its current series of production development with major OEMs.
