Senior State Estimation​/Calibration Engineer - Mountain View, CA

Base pay range

$/yr – $/yr

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.

We are looking for a Senior Engineer in our CLAMS (calibration, localization, and mapping) team. You will be working on implementing state‑of‑the‑art methods in state estimation, online calibration, optimization, and deploying Aeva’s 4D FMCW LiDAR algorithms to production to push autonomous driving performance.

• Contribute to Aeva’s 4D state estimation and calibration stack that will be deployed in production.
• Quickly prototype novel algorithms, implement them, and iterate fast.
• Ensure code is optimized for performance and scalability.
• Adhere to coding standards and best practices to ensure consistency and quality in all code.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure timely and accurate completion with documentation and tests.
