Staff Systems Engineer – LiDAR Sensors

Staff Systems Engineer – LiDAR Sensors

Experience: 10+ Years 
Location: Bangalore, India 
Notice Period: Immediate Joiner

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer to lead the development, integration, and lifecycle management of next-generation LiDAR sensor products. This is a highly technical individual contributor role with significant cross-functional leadership responsibilities, combining hands-on systems engineering with technical guidance across multidisciplinary teams.

The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in sensor systems, opto-mechanical design, digital signal processing (DSP), and automotive systems engineering. You will own system architecture, requirements management, verification planning, and product integration activities while ensuring compliance with automotive standards including ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434), and SOTIF (ISO 21448).

Key Responsibilities

Systems Architecture & Requirements Engineering

• Own system architecture, requirements development, and design documentation for LiDAR sensor products.
  

• Ensure full traceability from top-level performance requirements through subsystem specifications and implementation.
  

• Define system interfaces, performance budgets, and verification strategies.
  

Cross-Functional System Integration

• Lead architectural decomposition and integration across:
  

• Optical systems
  

• Opto-mechanical assemblies
  

• Electronics and hardware
  

• Firmware
  

• DSP algorithms
  

• Embedded software
  

• Drive system-level trade-offs to optimize performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
  

Optics & Opto-Mechanical Engineering

• Define and manage requirements related to:
  

• Optical path design
  

• Optical alignment
  

• Mechanical packaging
  

• Thermal stability
  

• Structural integrity
  

• Collaborate closely with optics and hardware teams to ensure sensor performance objectives are achieved.
  

DSP & Signal Processing Systems

• Own DSP subsystem requirements and architecture.
  

• Define signal processing performance targets and verification criteria.
  

• Collaborate with algorithm teams to ensure seamless integration between sensing hardware and perception software.
  

System Modeling & Analysis

• Perform system modeling, simulation, trade studies, and performance analysis.
  

• Evaluate design alternatives and support architectural decision-making.
  

• Analyze lab and field data to identify integration issues and drive root-cause resolution.
  

Functional Safety & Cybersecurity

• Develop and maintain automotive safety and cybersecurity work products, including:
  

• FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
  

• FTA (Fault Tree Analysis)
  

• HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment)
  

• TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment)
