Job Description:
About us:Aeva is building the next-generation of sensing and
perception for autonomous vehicles and beyond. With its unique
ability to measure instantaneous velocity for each pixel, long
range performance at high resolutions, while being free from LiDAR
or sunlight interference, Aeva's 4D LiDAR is built from the ground
up at silicon photonics scale for mass market applications.Role
Overview:Aeva is seeking to hire a highly skilled and experienced
Lead Lidar and Perception Systems Engineer to join our growing
team! - This individual will lead a team of engineers to
comprehensively characterize, analyze, verify, and validate Lidar
and Perception Software performance across the spectrum of Use
Cases, environmental conditions, and potential aggressors. -
Responsibilities will include identifying, characterizing, and root
causing Lidar point cloud performance impairments, artifacts and
deficiencies, as well as leading the verification and validation of
a full Perception stack based on the Lidar point cloud outputs,
including data collection, curation, ground truth and analysis. -
The role also involves directly interfacing with customers
regarding performance issues and collaboration with Aeva's HW and
SW engineering development teams to resolve performance issues.What
you'll be doing:Leadership:Manage a team of characterization, test
and analysis engineersInterface directly with customers to
understand and respond to their product performance concernsWork
cross-functionally with Aeva's HW and SW engineering development
teams to propose and implement Lidar point cloud performance as
well Perception SW performance improvements and artifact
removalsLead the planning and execution of a comprehensive systems
level Lidar and Perception characterization, verification and
validation effortsActively participate in product design
reviewsLidar and Perception Characterization and Validation:Verify
and validate that the Lidar point cloud can meet the capability
requirements consistent with customer's intentProactively and
comprehensively characterize (i.e. test, simulate and analyses)
Aeva's Lidars: per point performance, performance vs. Use Cases,
environmental interactions, susceptibility to aggressors,
impairments and artifactsWork with the SW teams to enhance and
augment the Lidar post point cloud data products such as ego motion
estimation, ego motion compensation, on-line calibration, and
PerceptionCharacterize, verify and validate the performance of all
Aeva data products - e.g. point clouds, intrinsic, extrinsic and
on-line calibration, ego motion estimation, motion compensation and
perception productsDevelop, manage and execute processes and assets
for data collection, curation, ground truth determination and
analysis needed to verify and validate PerceptionRespond to the
Customer's performance concerns, including replicating, root
causing and developing solution roadmapsDevelop Aeva vs. competitor
comparison analysis, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of
Aeva vs. competitor systemsWhat you have:Graduate level education
