Staff Autonomy Engineer, Perception

What you'll do

• Set technical direction and develop algorithms for scene estimation, sensor fusion, and multi-target tracking.
• Build evaluation tools, metrics, and visualization infrastructure; lead design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship.
• Coordinate with autonomy teams to ensure perception supports system-wide safety and reliability.

What they ask for

• BS or MS with at least 8 years of industry experience, or PhD with at least 5 years, building and deploying state estimation and sensor fusion systems.
• Expertise in sensor fusion, state estimation, Kalman filtering, particle filtering, and multi-object tracking.
• Strong deep-learning and learned-scene-estimation experience.
• Exceptional C++ skills and production-quality coding experience in high-reliability systems.

Nice to have

• Behavior prediction and scene understanding at scale; real-time perception under latency and compute constraints.
• Autonomous vehicle or robotics deployment in unstructured environments; team-level roadmaps or multi-engineer leadership.
