Senior / Staff Software Engineer, High-Performance Onboard Algorithms

- Be part of a multidisciplinary team of Engineers and Scientists working on building a best-in-class, high-performance sensor processing stack.

- Design, implement, and optimize highly efficient algorithms for sensor data acquisition, processing, fusion, and filtering, ensuring real-time performance on target hardware.

- Work on shipping next-generation signal processing software, leveraging parallel computing architectures (e.g., CPU, GPU, specialized accelerators) and low-level system programming.

- Collaborate with Waabi’s autonomy and hardware teams to ensure the efficiency and robustness of the entire system.

- Fundamentals of computer architecture. You have a deep understanding of how modern computer systems work (multi-core, vector units, cache management, memory hierarchy, networking).

- Data-parallel algorithms. You have experience implementing data-parallel and compute-intensive algorithms in domains such as image/video processing, compression, and optimizing modern neural networks.

- Heterogeneous computing and systems programming. You are comfortable with balancing workloads across multiple different processors, managing the ownership and movement of data buffers, and optimizing for overall system performance.

- Performance profiling and optimization. You know how to identify bottlenecks in a complex codebase and make optimization decisions that have lasting impact.

- Shipping Production Software. You have experience in reading and developing production quality software. You write efficient and maintainable code in a native language such as C++ or Rust (we use Rust and a variety of DSLs).

- Experience with accelerated computing like CUDA, Vulkan, and OpenCL.

- Experience with domain specific languages such as Halide, Taichi, Mojo, or Warp.

- Experience with CPU intrinsics (SSE/AVX, NEON/SVE).

- Experience with embedded systems.

- Shipped production software in one or more of the following areas: image and video processing, compression, streaming algorithms, deep learning, geometry processing.

- Publications in top-tier conferences or journals related to high-performance computing, image processing, computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, or self-driving technology.
