Job summary

Lyte seeks a Senior Algorithms Engineer to research and develop high-performance algorithms powering sensing products for robotics and physical AI applications. The role covers DSP, detection, imaging, CV, and ML across sensing modalities, with end-to-end ownership from prototyping to real-world validation.

You will collaborate with hardware, firmware, silicon, and system teams to map algorithms efficiently onto the target compute platform and support customer integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of algorithm development and data analysis in robotics, physical AI, IoT, or multimodal sensor applications.
• 5+ years of signal processing, including spectrum analysis, filter design, estimation and detection theory, and optimization.
• Hands-on experience developing computer vision algorithms and applying machine learning to sensor data – clustering, tracking, classification, segmentation, and 3D/4D point-cloud processing.
• Experience training and evaluating neural networks, including dataset curation and performance analysis.
• Proficiency in Python, with working knowledge of C or C++.

Responsibilities

• Research and develop DSP and detection algorithms across the full sensor processing pipeline, including spectrum analysis, filtering, estimation, and detection
• Develop camera and image processing algorithms, from raw sensor data through the imaging pipeline to downstream consumption
• Develop computer vision algorithms for tasks such as detection, classification, segmentation, tracking, and depth and 3D/4D point-cloud processing
• Design, train, and evaluate machine learning and AI models for sensor processing and multi-sensor fusion, and prepare them for deployment on the target platform
• Combine classical signal processing with learned components, and fuse information across sensing modalities
• Prototype, model, and validate algorithms in Python and C
• Analyze large real-world and simulated sensor datasets to characterize algorithm performance and identify failure modes
• Define KPIs and build the validation infrastructure used to measure algorithm performance across releases
• Work with the embedded and silicon teams to ensure algorithms map efficiently onto the target compute platform
• Support bring-up and debug across the algorithm, firmware, and hardware boundary
• Partner with hardware, firmware, and system teams on requirements, architecture, and performance trade-offs
• Document algorithm design, assumptions, and validation results for internal and customer use
