Perception Engineer III

At ASI we are revolutionizing industries with state-of-the-art autonomous robotics solutions. Within the fields of agriculture construction landscaping and logistics we deliver technologies that enhance safety productivity and efficiency. With our core values of Simplicity Safety Transparency Humility Attention to Detail Autonomy and Growth guiding everything we do were shaping the future of automation in dynamic markets.

As a Perception Engineer III you will lead the design and development of the perception algorithms and sensor-integration solutions that let ASIs autonomous vehicles understand the world. You architect real-time C pipelines for object detection classification tracking and sensor fusion across LiDAR radar and cameras and you run them in embedded environments. You work with high autonomy drive resolution of complex perception failures and mentor junior engineers. You partner with planning controls and systems teams and you use AI coding agents to move quickly from idea to deployed capability on the Advanced Prototype team.

• Lead design development and deployment of perception algorithms for LiDAR radar camera and sensor fusion.

• Architect real-time C pipelines for object detection classification tracking and fusion in embedded systems.

• Define sensor selection criteria integration standards and validation processes.

• Drive root-cause resolution of complex or non-standard perception failures.

• Partner with planning controls and systems engineers to align perception with the autonomy stack.

• Deploy and configure perception systems at customer sites leading integration.

• Mentor Perception Engineers I and II through code reviews and technical guidance.

• Use AI coding agents to accelerate development from prototype to deployment.

• Document architecture design decisions and lessons learned.

Qualifications

• Bachelors in computer science electrical engineering robotics or a related field (Masters a plus).

• 4 years developing perception systems for autonomous vehicles or robotics.

• Expert C (C11 or newer) building production multithreaded Linux applications.

• Depth in at least two of: LiDAR point-cloud processing automotive radar image-based object recognition or sensor fusion and tracking.
