Develop point cloud processing algorithms focusing on CPU and memory optimization, implement algorithms in C++, and troubleshoot performance issues.
About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a software engineer to focus on algorithm development for point cloud processing in production software. This role will focus on driving CPU and memory optimizations across our LiDAR data path, ensuring efficient real-time processing as sensor capabilities and feature complexity continue to grow.
What you’ll do:
- Analyze benchmark workloads and real-world applications to identify bottlenecks across CPU, memory, interconnect, I/O, and system subsystems.
- Develop and maintain performance tools, instrumentation, automation frameworks for measurement and optimization.
- Implement C++ algorithm changes for optimal performance on ARM processors using Neon/SIMD and other HW co-processors.
- Participate in the team’s development processes, including requirements and design documentation, test-plan generation and execution, peer design and code reviews, process feedback, and improvements.
What you’ll have:
- Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of industry experience, or Master’s degree with 3+ years of experience in software development and algorithm design.
- 3+ years of experience in developing C/C++ applications with a focusing optimizing algorithm design
- Experience with performance testing, profiling, and instrumentation of embedded software and hardware.
- Experience with Arm ISA or other modern ISAs, SoC subsystem like interconnects, memory controllers and DMAs
- Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, communicate effectively, and show initiative in solving complex system-level problems.
Nice to have:
- Previous experience writing and deploying software implementing radar or lidar systems
- Previous experience working with real time OS like bare metal, RTOS, or QNX
- Previous experience working with pre-silicon environments and post-silicon platforms to validate performance targets
- Previous experience writing and deploying software for sensing systems
What’s in it for you:
- Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
- Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
- Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
- Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
