Perception Engineer

Apolis

Job Title: Perception Engineer
Location: Detroit, MI (5 days a week onsite)
Rate: As per market standard
Client:

What You Will Do:
  • Design and implement advanced perception algorithms for autonomous vehicles using LiDAR, cameras, radar, and GNSS.
  • Develop and optimize sensor fusion techniques to combine data from multiple sensors, improving the accuracy and reliability of perception systems.
  • Create algorithms for object detection, tracking, semantic segmentation, and classification from 3D point clouds (LiDAR) and camera data.
  • Develop sensor calibration techniques (intrinsic and extrinsic) and coordinate transformations between sensors.
  • Develop robust perception algorithms that maintain performance in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and low-light scenarios.
  • Participate in real-time systems design and optimization to meet the high-performance requirements of autonomous driving.
  • Work with ROS2 for integration and deployment of perception algorithms.
  • Develop, test, and deploy machine learning models for perception tasks such as object detection and tracking.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate perception algorithms into larger autonomous systems.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging technologies to innovate and improve perception systems.
What You Will Bring:
  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in sensor calibration, multi-sensor fusion, or related domains.
  • Strong foundation in linear algebra, 3D geometry, coordinate frames, quaternions, probability, Bayesian filtering, and data association.
  • Hands-on experience with intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of LiDAR, cameras, and radar, including geometric calibration, coordinate transforms, and sensor synchronization.
  • Proven experience with perception algorithms for autonomous systems, particularly in the areas of LiDAR, camera, radar, GNSS, or other sensor modalities.
  • Deep understanding of LiDAR technology, point cloud data structures, and processing techniques; experience with PCL or Open3D.
  • Proficiency in sensor fusion for combining data from LiDAR, camera, radar, and GNSS, including handling time synchronization and motion distortion.
  • Solid background in computer vision techniques; experience with OpenCV and object detection models such as YOLO, Faster R-CNN, or SSD.
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow or PyTorch) for object detection and tracking tasks.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-object tracking algorithms such as SORT, DeepSORT, Kalman Filters, UKF, IMM, or JPDA.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python; familiarity with geometric optimization libraries.
  • Familiarity with ROS2 for perception-based autonomous systems development.
  • Experience with parallel computing for real-time performance optimization (e.g., CUDA, OpenCL).
