Step inside the world of self-driving freight, powered by the Aurora Driver. Delivering the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. Backed by Greylock, Index and Lightspeed.
About the role
Architect Core DSP Pipelines: Lead the algorithmic strategy, modeling, and architectural implementation of end-to-end signal processing pipelines for next-generation coherent lidar systems. Optimize for Hardware Execution: Translate high-level mathematical models into compute-optimized architectures, targeting modern embedded platforms (FPGAs/SIMD) and guiding the hardware specification for future custom silicon (ASIC).
What they're looking for
- Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all
- Education & Experience: BSc, MSc or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field, paired with 10+ years of relevant industry experience in advanced DSP design
- Advanced Mathematical & DSP Foundation: Expert-level mastery of foundational and advanced signal processing mathematics (e.g., spectral estimation, filtering, phase recovery, modulation/demodulation, detection theory and noise mitigation)
- Relevant Cross-Industry Expertise: Proven track record applying advanced DSP principles within signal-dense domains such as modern radar systems, optical or RF telecommunications, or computational physics
- Embedded Hardware Targeting: Demonstrated experience mapping and optimizing high-throughput algorithms onto hardware architectures with tight latency, bandwidth, and compute constraints (FPGAs, SoC/SIMD vector engines, and/or ASICs)
- High-Level Modeling Skills: Expert proficiency in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB for modeling, simulation, algorithmic verification, and data analysis
