Your Role
:
Autonomous vehicles depend on sensor data and our Sensor & Compute team is at the very heart of Oxa’s software and platform development. This team makes it possible for vehicles to know where they are and what is around them. Furthermore, by analysing the quality of data at run-time, the products of the Sensor & Compute team allow vehicles to gauge and predict their own performance and safety margins.
The Sensor & Compute team is responsible for developing high-performance sensor drivers, with a strong emphasis on working closely with development teams to understand their needs. We care about sensor quality, health, and optimality with respect to our algorithms. We ensure that interfaces are well-defined and documented and that all teams are fully supported.
The diversity of sensor types along with a multitude of calibration, data quality, and inference challenges makes the Sensor & Compute team a fast-paced and exciting team.
Your Responsibilities:
1. Integrate complex vehicle systems into a coherent whole to enable our software to be developed and tested on our autonomous vehicles.
2. Basic software development for integration of hardware and improving the automation process.
3. Establish and manage the development of test bench infrastructure for evaluating performance, including hardware and software components.
4. Working practically with our autonomous vehicles, demonstrating passion for robotics and autonomous systems.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyse test results, identify performance limitations, and implement corrective actions.
6. Using your understanding of the physics of self-driving car sensing technology ( LiDAR, Cameras, RADAR).
7. Investigating the combination of the autonomous software stack and new hardware to ensure functionality is as intended.
8. Using your strong data exploration experience to ensure each new platform is delivered to the same Oxa standard.
9. Write and perform test cases for these systems.
10. Understand the safety and legislative requirements for your work.
11. Debug electrical and hardware problems for new components integrated on test vehicles.
12. Contributing to internal process documents around the design, test, build and sign-off of new platforms
13. Contributing to internal user documentation for the commissioning process for repeat vehicles
14. Producing Field Bugs documents and participating in agile planning processes (Jira)
15. Contributing to Autonomous Vehicle Daily Checklists.
