About the role
Senior LiDAR Algorithms Engineer You will work across the full signal chain — from raw sensor data through DSP, detection, ranging, and point cloud generation — with a strong end-to-end systems perspective that connects algorithm performance to opto-mechanical behavior, hardware constraints, and top-level sensor requirements. You will collaborate closely with firmware, software, optics, and systems teams to deliver robust, production-quality algorithms for automotive-grade LiDAR. What you'll do • Own the design, and development of LiDAR sensing algorithms — including signal processing, detection, ranging, calibration, and point cloud processing pipelines. • DSP algorithm development: define signal chain architecture, implement and optimize processing stages (filtering, FFT-based methods, peak detection, noise mitigation, etc.), and establish performance targets with clear verification criteria. • Develop and refine computer vision and perception-oriented algorithms that operate on LiDAR data — including clustering, tracking, object detection, and sensor fusion interfaces as applicable to the product roadmap. • Conduct algorithm trade studies, simulation, and analysis to validate design decisions; analyze lab and field test data to diagnose performance issues and drive iterative improvement. • Define algorithm requirements, interfaces, and performance budgets in coordination with firmware, embedded software, and systems teams — ensuring traceability from top-level sensor specs to implementation. • Support integration, bring-up, and validation of algorithms on target hardware; debug cross-domain issues spanning optics, DSP, firmware, and software. • Serve as the senior technical liaison for algorithms across engineering disciplines and in design/milestone reviews; provide technical guidance on critical deliverables as needed. What you'll have • 5+ years of experience in algorithm development for sensors, DSP, computer vision, or embedded perception systems, with end-to-end ownership of complex algorithm pipelines through development and release. • Deep hands-on expertise in LiDAR, Radar or similar time-of-flight/ranging sensor algorithms. Automotive LiDAR experience strongly preferred. • Strong background in DSP (digital filter design, spectral analysis, detection theory, noise modeling) and software algorithm implementation (C/C++, Python or MATLAB for prototyping and production). • Solid understanding of computer vision fundamentals — point cloud processing, 3D geometry, calibration, and performance evaluation metrics. • Familiarity with the constraints of deploying algorithms on embedded/FPGA/SoC platforms, including fixed-point optimization, latency budgets, and resource limitations. • Working knowledge of sensor system architecture — including how opto-mechanical design, optical performance, and hardware limitations affect algorithm behavior and achievable performance. • Experience with ASPICE, ISO 26262, or ISO/SAE 21434 workflows is a plus, particularly as they relate to algorithm verification and documentation. • Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable driving technical trade-offs across multidisciplinary teams. What's in it for you • Be one of the early algorithms engineer in our Bangalore office in this domain — help establish the team, culture, and technical foundation from the ground up. • Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team Application for Senior LiDAR Algorithms Engineer successfully submitted!
