Staff Sensor Validation & Characterisation Engineer

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Staff Sensor Validation & Characterization Engineer to serve as a technical leader in the validation and characterization of our next-generation LiDAR sensor products. You will own sensor performance characterization across lab and real-world environments, with a strong end-to-end systems perspective that connects measured performance to top-level sensor requirements, algorithm behavior, and opto-mechanical design.

What you'll do

• Own the validation and characterization strategy for LiDAR sensor performance — defining test plans, metrics, acceptance criteria
• Lead hands-on sensor characterization in the lab: set up and operate test equipment, configure sensors under controlled conditions
• Plan and execute real-world field validation campaigns — designing test routes/scenarios, instrumenting vehicles, collecting synchronized sensor and reference data
• Develop automated test frameworks, data collection pipelines, and analysis tools to improve repeatability, throughput, and insight from characterization data
• Analyze lab and field test data to identify performance trends, root-cause failures, and regressions; partner with algorithms, firmware

What you need

• 10–18 yrs of experience
• Data structures
• Python
• Test cases
• MATLAB
• Instrumentation
• Any graduate
