Job Summary
About us:
Aevas mission is 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. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a software engineer to focus on algorithm development for point cloud processing in production software. This role will focus on driving CPU and memory optimizations across our LiDAR data path ensuring efficient real-time processing as sensor capabilities and feature complexity continue to grow.
What youll do:
- Analyze benchmark and implement point cloud processing algorithms to achieve CPU memory and latency targets.
- Implement signal processing detection and lidar algorithms in C in production software and simulation platforms.
- Translate floating-point models to fixed-point for optimal implementation on ARM processors and FPGAs
- Profile triage and root-cause complex performance issues in live sensor systems.
- Participate in the teams development processes including requirements and design documentation test-plan generation and execution peer design and code reviews process feedback and improvements
What youll have:
- Bachelors degree with 5 years of industry experience or Masters degree with 3 years of experience in software development and algorithm design.
- Strong fundamentals in mathematics and excellent problem-solving skills.
- Proven experience profiling benchmarking and optimizing embedded systems.
- Demonstrated ability to learn quickly communicate effectively and show initiative in solving complex system-level problems.
Nice to have:
- Experience working on point cloud processing algorithms for detection estimation and filtering
- Worked on fixed-point algorithm implementation on low-end processors
- Knowledge of working principles for radars/lidars
- Experience optimizing algorithms for different embedded platforms including ARM and SIMD processors
Whats in it for you:
- Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
- Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
- Exceptional benefits: Medical Dental Vision and more
- Unlimited PTO: We care about results not punching timecards
$154900 - $209600 a year
