The Senior Sensor Validation Engineer joins the team developing hands-off and eyes-off autonomous driving systems for consumer vehicles. This role bridges the gap between low-level hardware performance and high-level vehicle integration by developing sensor characterization plans for cameras, lidar, and radars. You will evaluate sensor response, execute on-vehicle data collection campaigns on public roads and closed courses, and analyze metrics like signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, and point cloud density. Key responsibilities include transitioning modules from benchtop setups to vehicle platforms while managing field-of-view and keep-out zone constraints. Required skills include expertise in sensor physics, optics, electromagnetics, and signal processing. You must be proficient in Python and MATLAB to process data and possess experience with component-level test equipment like darkrooms and anechoic chambers.
