Responsibilities

• Design, develop, integrate, and validate advanced perception algorithms for autonomous logistics and material-handling applications
• Lead complex perception features involving object detection, classification, segmentation, tracking, obstacle detection, free-space identification, and environmental understanding
• Develop perception capabilities for detecting vehicles, equipment, personnel, pallets, containers, racks, structures, loading areas, and other operational objects
• Process and fuse data from cameras, LiDAR, radar, GPS/GNSS, inertial sensors, encoders, and other vehicle systems
• Develop environmental models that support safe navigation, route planning, docking, alignment, loading, unloading, and material-movement workflows
• Lead defined perception workstreams from requirements development through architecture, implementation, integration, testing, and release
• Contribute to perception architecture and technical design decisions for autonomous logistics platforms
• Establish technical approaches, performance metrics, and acceptance criteria for complex perception capabilities
• Integrate perception software with ASI's autonomous vehicle platforms, embedded computing systems, and supporting autonomy software
• Evaluate perception performance using recorded datasets, simulation, software-in-the-loop testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and full-vehicle field validation
• Analyze large datasets to identify false detections, missed detections, tracking failures, environmental limitations, and system-level edge cases
• Develop and improve automated workflows for data collection, labeling, replay, regression testing, visualization, and performance analysis
• Lead troubleshooting of complex issues involving sensor calibration, timing, synchronization, coordinate transformations, vehicle movement, computing performance, and system integration
• Guide sensor selection, placement, mounting, configuration, calibration, and validation activities
