## Description

We are representing a fast-scaling technology company developing cutting-edge autonomous vehicle platforms. They are seeking a Staff Perception Software Engineer to lead the design and development of intelligent perception systems that power autonomy across complex, real-world environments.

This is a high-impact role where you'll shape the algorithms and systems responsible for situational awareness, object detection, and environmental understanding for next-generation autonomous mobility., As a Staff Perception Software Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader in the development of advanced perception pipelines. You'll architect and optimize systems that fuse sensor data (LiDAR, camera, radar) and deliver real-time, accurate understanding of the surrounding environment to support safe autonomous decision-making., * Design and implement core perception algorithms for detection, classification, tracking, and scene understanding

 * Lead integration of multi-modal sensor data (LiDAR, radar, camera) into robust, real-time pipelines
 * Develop scalable, efficient code for deployment on embedded and vehicle compute platforms
 * Work closely with autonomy, mapping, and systems teams to integrate perception into full-stack autonomy
 * Conduct data-driven performance tuning and optimization across real-world edge cases
 * Provide technical mentorship and help establish best practices across the perception team
