Aeva is seeking a Senior Perception Engineer to contribute to its 4D perception stack for production deployment. In this role, you will prototype and implement novel perception algorithms, optimize code for performance and scalability, and take ownership of assigned tasks from conception through testing and documentation.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and deploying real-time perception systems as part of Aeva's 4D perception stack
- Rapidly prototyping novel algorithms, implementing them, and iterating based on results
- Ensuring code is optimized for both performance and scalability
- Adhering to coding standards and best practices for consistency and quality
- Owning assigned tasks end-to-end with comprehensive documentation and test coverage
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on sensor fusion, 3D perception, and real-time algorithm deployment. You will work with multi-modal sensor data (LiDAR, camera, IMU, GNSS, RADAR) and classical perception techniques to build robust systems.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of demonstrated experience creating and deploying real-time perception systems
- MS or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Strong expertise in classical perception techniques: object detection, clustering, filtering, occupancy grids, data association, and tracking algorithms
- Hands-on experience with Kalman Filtering, Bayesian Methods, and Sensor Fusion (LiDAR/IMU/GNSS/Camera)
- Experience working with 3D data representations (point clouds, meshes, trees, etc.)
- Strong fundamentals in linear algebra and 3D geometry
- Expert-level C++ development skills with Linux environment proficiency
- Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting
Nice-to-have:
- Knowledge of RADAR or LiDAR working principles
- Experience with robotics/autonomous vehicle frameworks (ROS/ROS2)
- Runtime optimization techniques (parallelization, vectorization, cache-friendly development)
- Modern build systems (Bazel or similar)
