Key Responsibilities
- Excellent understanding of image and LiDAR based annotation concepts, along with validation processes.
- Hands-on experience with vehicle-level reference sensor systems supporting ground truth, including installation, calibration, synchronization, and logging validation.
- Design, develop, and maintain data logger systems for in-vehicle recording of Camera, ultrasonic sensor, radar, and vehicle bus data, ensuring data integrity and time synchronization.
- Design, develop, and maintain reprocessing (re-simulation) systems to replay recorded sensor data through perception and system software for validation and regression testing.
- Develop system test tools and frameworks supporting HIL/SIL testing, data validation, and automated test execution.
- Build and optimize data processing pipelines handling large-scale sensor data across formats (MDF4, CSV, ORC, MP4, Parquet).
- Design and maintain cloud-based infrastructure for data ingestion, storage, reprocessing, and retrieval (AWS or similar).
- Develop image processing components for sensor data visualization, quality checks, and analysis tooling.
- Design and maintain database schemas and services for test data management, metadata indexing, and efficient retrieval.
- Collaborate with data collection, annotation, sensor calibration, and software teams to align tooling with development and validation needs.
- Gather, analyze, and document tool requirements from internal and external stakeholders.
- Conduct code reviews, write unit/integration tests, and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure tool quality and reliability.
- Provide user support, documentation, and training for developed tools across global teams.
- Stay updated on industry best practices in test tooling, data logging, and cloud technologies.
Qualifications & Skills:
