Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Staff LiDARAlgorithms Engineer to serve as a technical leader in the design and development of algorithms for our next-generation LiDARsensor products. This is a player-coach role: you will personally drive critical algorithm development hands-on while providing technical direction across the sensing pipeline.
You will work across the full signal chain from raw sensor data through DSP detection ranging and point cloud generation with a strong end-to-end systems perspective that connects algorithm performance to opto-mechanical behavior hardware constraints and top-level sensor requirements. You will collaborate closely with firmware software optics and systems teams to deliver robust production-quality algorithms for automotive-grade LiDAR.
- Own the architecture design and development of LiDARsensing algorithms including signal processing detection ranging calibration and point cloud processing pipelines.
- Lead DSP algorithm development: define signal chain architecture implement and optimize processing stages (filtering FFT-based methods peak detection noise mitigation etc.) and establish performance targets with clear verification criteria.
- Develop and refine computer vision and perception-oriented algorithms that operate on LiDARdata including clustering tracking object detection and sensor fusion interfaces as applicable to the product road map.
- Conduct algorithm trade studies simulation and analysis to validate design decisions; analyze lab and field test data to diagnose performance issues and drive iterative improvement.
- Define algorithm requirements interfaces and performance budgets in coordination with firmware embedded software and systems teams ensuring traceability from top-level sensor specs to implementation.
- Support integration bring-up and validation of algorithms on target hardware; debug cross-domain issues spanning optics DSP firmware and software.
- Serve as the senior technical liaison for algorithms across engineering disciplines and in design/milestone reviews; provide technical guidance on critical deliverables as needed.
- 10 years of experience in algorithm development for sensors DSP computer vision or embedded perception systems with end-to-end ownership of complex algorithm pipelines through development and release.
- Deep hands-on expertise in LiDAR Radar or similar time-of-flight/ranging sensor algorithms. Automotive LiDARexperience strongly preferred.
- Strong background in DSP (digital filter design spectral analysis detection theory noise modeling) and software algorithm implementation (C/C Python or MATLAB for prototyping and production).
- Solid understanding of computer vision fundamentals point cloud processing 3D geometry calibration and performance evaluation metrics.
- Familiarity with the constraints of deploying algorithms on embedded/FPGA/SoC platforms including fixed-point optimization latency budgets and resource limitations.
- Working knowledge of sensor system architecture including how opto-mechanical design optical performance and hardware limitations affect algorithm behavior and achievable performance.
- Experience with ASPICE ISO 26262 or ISO/SAE 21434 workflows is a plus particularly as they relate to algorithm verification and documentation.
- Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable driving technical trade-offs across multidisciplinary teams.
- Be the first algorithms engineer in our Bangalore office in this domain help establish the team culture and technical foundation from the ground up
- Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
