Senior Perception Engineer III — Embedded C++

Autonomous Solutions; Logan (UT); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Autonomous Solutions seeks a Perception Engineer III to design and deploy perception algorithms for LiDAR, radar, and cameras, and to architect real-time C++ pipelines for embedded systems. You will align perception with the autonomy stack and mentor junior engineers on the Advanced Prototype team.

You will collaborate with planning, controls, and systems teams, use AI coding agents to move ideas to deployment, and document architecture and lessons learned while driving robust perception

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field (Master's a plus).
• 4+ years developing perception systems for autonomous vehicles or robotics.
• Expert C++ (C++11 or newer), building production, multithreaded Linux applications.
• Depth in at least two of: LiDAR point-cloud processing, automotive radar, image-based object recognition, or sensor fusion and tracking.
• Experience with ROS or ROS2 and DDS or publish-subscribe messaging.
• Working knowledge of machine-learning and AI techniques deployed in embedded C++.
• Python3 or MATLAB for prototyping and analysis.
• Advanced linear algebra, probabilistic estimation, and coordinate transformations.

Responsibilities

• Lead design, development, and deployment of perception algorithms for LiDAR, radar, camera, and sensor fusion.
• Architect real-time C++ pipelines for object detection, classification, tracking, and fusion in embedded systems.
• Define sensor selection criteria, integration standards, and validation processes.
• Drive root-cause resolution of complex or non-standard perception failures.
• Partner with planning, controls, and systems engineers to align perception with the autonomy stack.
• Deploy and configure perception systems at customer sites, leading integration.
• Mentor Perception Engineers I and II through code reviews and technical guidance.
• Use AI coding agents to accelerate development from prototype to deployment.
• Document architecture, design decisions, and lessons learned.
