Senior Software Engineer - Perception

About the role

As a Perception Software Engineer on the Autonomy team, you will develop the perception system for Level‑4 autonomous trucks that operate at highway speeds. You will own the end‑to‑end pipeline, from model architecture and training to onboard deployment and on‑road validation, ensuring safety‑critical performance.

Key responsibilities

• Design, train, and deploy deep‑learning models for 3D object detection using LiDAR, camera, and radar data.
• Build multi‑sensor fusion architectures that combine independent detection and classification streams.
• Characterize perception failure modes, create targeted evaluation sets, and improve system‑level metrics.
• Develop and operate a data engine for shadow‑mode comparison, automated data mining, and retraining loops.
• Contribute to camera‑ and LiDAR‑based localization under degraded conditions.
• Guide perception components through the full safety validation pipeline before public‑road deployment.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience developing machine‑learning‑based perception systems.
• Proven ability to work on safety‑critical software in a collaborative, cross‑functional environment.

Required skills

• Machine learning and deep learning for perception.
• 3D object detection.
• LiDAR, camera, and radar sensor processing.
• Sensor fusion and multi‑object tracking.
• State estimation.
• Data engineering for automated mining and retraining.

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge autonomous truck technology.
• Collaboration with top engineers in behavior, planning, systems, and safety.
• Flexible in‑office schedule with occasional remote work.
