Principal Software Engineer, Perception Architect

Job description

Be the visionary Perception Architect designing the sensory "nervous system" for our next generation of autonomous products. Evolve our end-to-end perception architecture , serving as the essential liaison between Sensing teams and the core ML system. Drive architectural evolution toward next-generation sensing and compute platforms by influencing Hardware-Software Co-Design . In this role, you will: - System Synthesis: Define the end-to-end perception architecture—assess new sensing (LiDAR, Radar, Camera) to the final fused world model. - Hardware-Software Co-Design: Partner with Compute and Sensing teams to influence the design, ensuring our algorithms have the "computational oxygen" they need. - Algorithmic Strategy: Lead the transition from current pipelines to AI innovation pipelines, while maintaining the safety and interpretability required for edge deployment. - Future-Proofing: Evaluate emerging technologies and determine their viability for the 3-5 year roadmap. - Performance Budgeting: Collaborate on rigorous metrics for latency and accuracy across diverse edge-computing environments. - Lead cross functional teams: to create a viable plan to move to new platforms and unl...
