About the Role
Own and support the sensors on next-generation autonomous trucks, from selection and characterization through placement, commissioning, and on-vehicle validation. Define sensor performance criteria, validate them in lab and field, and serve as the point person for sensor data issues. Work as a systems, hardware, and data engineer to ensure optimal information is available for the autonomous system.
Responsibilities
- Write and own sensor requirements, ensuring they are testable and tied to autonomy or safety needs.
- Conduct field of view, coverage, and occlusion studies for Class 8 tractor-trailers to inform sensor placement.
- Characterize remote-sensing systems including camera, lidar, radar, microphone, IMU, and GNSS.
- Own sensor commissioning and bring-up, including procedures, automation, qualification tests, and diagnostics.
- Design and build test setups and test benches.
- Support testing, evaluation, federation, and continued operation of vehicles, sensors, and platforms.
- Support data collection, automation, review, and analysis for bench and on-vehicle tests.
- Translate perception needs into measurable sensor KPIs with Autonomy and Software teams.
- Lead root cause analysis on sensor issues and implement design changes.
- Collaborate with Hardware teams on mounts, enclosures, harnessing, power, thermal, and networking.
Requirements
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
- 3 or more years of hands-on sensor and engineering experience.
- Test automation, scripting, and data analysis experience.
- Field of view and coverage analysis experience, including geometric modeling of sensor placement on a vehicle or robot.
- Experience with at least two of camera, lidar, radar, or INS/GNSS.
- Strong grasp of underlying physics: optics and photometry, lidar range equation and reflectivity, radar RCS and antenna patterns, inertial error models and GNSS/INS fusion behavior.
- Proven cross-functional collaboration with autonomy, perception, software, and hardware teams.
- Fluent in Python for test automation and data analysis.
- Comfortable on a vehicle and in the shop.
- Experience writing test reports and procedures that others can execute.
