Voyant Photonics is creating a new class of LiDAR devices that fit in the palm of your hand, measure range, velocity, and reflectivity more accurately than anything available today, with costs low enough to meet the needs of any system.
We are revolutionizing machine perception, developing low-cost sensors built on silicon photonic chips smaller than your finger tip.
Interested in a career at a young and venture-backed startup making real products out of cutting edge research in silicon photonics? Come join us! We are based in the heart of New York City.
Perception System Engineer
Perception and scene analysis solutions that use 5D coherent imaging with FMCW LiDAR are in their infancy. Why? Because the FMCW LiDAR systems that generate this data do not yet exist outside.
Voyant is bringing these incredible technologies to every-day opportunities, and we need creative, talented problem solvers to create the real-time-capable algorithms that will make these sensors a vital part of the next generations of machine perception products.
What you will be doing:
- Create algorithms for 3D, 4D, and 5D data sets to analyze real-world scenes using geometric filtering as well as ML techniques
- Create simulations of sensors to support algorithm development
- Analyze algorithm performance by comparing simulated data to real data.
- Implement algorithms in in test/simulation environments as well as real-time embedded environment
What we need from you:
- Understanding of appropriate data structures for manipulating multidimensional real-time data sets
- Understanding of point-cloud-based scene analysis
- Expert capabilities in Python, Matlab, or other frameworks for simulations of non-real-time algorithmic development
- Understanding of how to implement real-time algorithms for scene analysis from point clouds
Nice to have:
Solid organizational and communication skills for succeeding in a startup environment
If you are a skilled scientist or engineer seeking an opportunity at a well-funded early stage startup who takes shipping innovative, world changing products seriously- this is a great job for you.
