Systems Engineer (Perception)

Systems Engineer (Perception)

Stealth Startup

You’ll be the glue between sensors, software, and hardware—owning system integration of LiDAR + camera stacks on a ROS2 platform (Jetson Orin) and taking end-to-end responsibility for validation & test (SIL/HIL, on‑rig, on‑road).

Tasks

• System integration (LiDAR + cameras): Bring up, configure, and tune sensors (e.g., Ouster/Hesai + GMSL2 cameras); manage drivers, time sync (PTP/IEEE‑1588), triggering, exposure, and bandwidth.
• ROS2 on Orin: Package perception nodes (C++/Python), deploy with Docker on NVIDIA Jetson Orin; optimize with Isaac ROS/TensorRT where relevant.
• Calibration & perception pipeline: Own camera intrinsics/extrinsics and LiDAR–camera calibration (e.g., Kalibr, OpenCV, PCL); verify point‑cloud ↔ image alignment and perception KPIs.
• Data + logging: Define rosbag2 logging strategies, dataset/versioning hygiene, and replay workflows (SIL/HIL) for deterministic debugging and regression.
• Test ownership: Define the test strategy (component → system), write test plans, create automated launch/integration tests (gtest/pytest/ROS2 launch), and drive CI (build, hardware‑smoke, regression).
• Reliability in the loop: Proactively chase down flaky drivers, clock drift, thermal throttling, and real‑time constraints; contribute to HW BOM choices (cables, hubs, PPS/GPS time).
• Collaboration: Work across Perception, Firmware, and Platform; document architecture and test results; support on‑rig bring‑up and field testing.

Requirements

Must have:

• 4–8+ years in robotics/AV/vision system integration (not just pure research).
• Strong ROS2 (rclcpp, launch, DDS like Cyclone/FastDDS), C++14/17 (some Python), CMake/Bazel, Git, Docker.
• Hands‑on with LiDAR (Ouster/Hesai/Velodyne) & industrial cameras (GMSL2/CSI/USB3; FLIR/Basler/etc.), time sync (PTP/NTP/PPS) and calibration tooling.
• Comfortable on NVIDIA Jetson Orin (JetPack, Nsight, tegrastats), performance/latency profiling, TensorRT/Isaac ROS (plus).
• Proven test ownership: designing automated integration/system tests, SIL/HIL, hardware smoke tests, and CI pipelines.
• Linux/Ubuntu (20.04/22.04), networking (Ethernet, VLANs), basic CAN.

Nice-to-have:

• Isaac ROS GEMs / Isaac Sim / Ignition Gazebo; CUDA/VPI.
• ASPICE/ISO-26262 exposure (mindset for safety), MISRA C++ familiarity.
• OpenCV, PCL, Open3D; exposure to label tools (CVAT/Label Studio).
• German language (nice) — English required.
