About the role

This role involves the design and development of algorithms for LiDAR sensor products. You will work across the full signal chain, from raw sensor data through DSP, detection, ranging, and point cloud generation, with an end-to-end systems perspective.

What you'll do

• Own the architecture, design, and development of LiDAR sensing 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.
• Develop and refine computer vision and perception-oriented algorithms that operate on LiDAR data, including clustering, tracking, object detection, and sensor fusion interfaces.
• Conduct algorithm trade studies, simulation, and analysis to validate design decisions; analyze lab and field test data to diagnose performance issues.
• Define algorithm requirements, interfaces, and performance budgets in coordination with firmware, embedded software, and and systems teams.
• Support integration, bring-up, and validation of algorithms on target hardware; debug cross-domain issues spanning optics, DSP, firmware, and software.

What you'll need

• 10+ years of experience in algorithm development for sensors, DSP, computer vision, or embedded perception systems.
• Deep hands-on expertise in LiDAR, Radar, or similar time-of-flight/ranging sensor algorithms.
• Strong background in DSP (digital filter design, spectral analysis, detection theory, noise modeling) and software algorithm implementation (C/C++, Python or MATLAB).
• 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 opto-mechanical design, optical performance, and hardware limitations.

Nice to have

• Automotive LiDAR experience.
• Experience with ASPICE, ISO 26262, or ISO/SAE 21434 workflows as they relate to algorithm verification and documentation.
