About the role

  • Maintain and improve camera control software (triggering, timing, health monitoring, error recovery)
  • Maintain and improve sensor control software (presence/distance/measurement sensors, calibration, fault handling)
  • Develop new scanner capabilities
  • Implement signal processing pipelines (e.g., convert laser triangulation outputs into 2D tread-depth maps; post-process stereo depth results; filtering/denoising; coordinate transforms)
  • Prototype quickly, then harden implementations to production-grade reliability
  • Support system integration and deployments: bring up new modules, validate in the lab/on-vehicle, debug issues, and ship fixes

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals (debugging, testing, reliability, version control)
  • Experience integrating sensors/devices in real-world systems
  • Comfort working close to hardware: bring-up, wiring, and iterative troubleshooting
  • Ability to take ambiguous requirements and ship maintainable systems
  • Embedded/edge platforms: Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, Arduino (or similar)
  • Protocols and interfaces: RS-485, CAN, Modbus, UART/I2C/SPI, GPIO
  • Linux-based device development: system services, supervision, logging, performance profiling
  • Sensor/vision data processing: filtering, calibration, synchronization, map generation
  • Able to connect sensors to compute hardware safely and cleanly
  • Comfortable with basic soldering, crimping/connectors, and reading datasheets/wiring diagrams
Benefits
  • Diverse team
  • Inclusive workplace
  • Equal opportunities without discrimination
