We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. (Note: For EpiSci job openings, fully remote work will be considered by exception.)
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced engineer with expertise in the design and development of Lidars to join our sensor modeling team. Covering model development to simulation validation, this person will own the Lidar models end to end. At Applied, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.
At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Own the lidar modeling process related to theory, design, implementation, and validation of lidar models including material, radiometric and internal processing
  • Work closely with our validation and rendering teams to demonstrate correlation, and create prebuilt sensor models to be used by our customers
  • Work closely with customers and sensor vendors to implement their specific models
  • Spend roughly 50% of your time on the validation of lidar models, and 50% of your time on model development
We’re looking for someone who has:
  • 4+ years of experience
  • Demonstrated design and implementation of high fidelity lidar simulations in previous work
  • Knowledge about state of the art as well as theoretical operation of Lidar sensors
  • Knowledge about environmental effects and modeling approaches
  • Experience implementing models in Matlab, Python, or C++
  • Experience across design, execution and analysis of experiments for evaluation of sensor performance
Nice to have:
  • Experience working with rendering engines such as Unreal Engine
  • Hands on experience with Lidar hardware
