Motion Sensing Hardware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Diagnose engineering issues with true scientific method driving to definitive root cause.
• Participate in defining and updating sensing system metrics that deliver performance and improvement to customer perception.
• Work cross-functionally with other teams (Firmware, ODM partners, technology partners) to resolve issues and improve performance.
• Develop measurement methods, tools and equipment that are repeatable, reproducible, and automated as appropriate to enable thorough validation coverage of sensors on tight development schedules.
• Support engineering factory build activities with performance validation measurements, yield optimization, and failure analysis coordination.
• Prepare and deliver presentations and test reports to clearly communicate technical status, risks and mitigation strategies for ongoing sensing system programs.
• Collaborate with our Compliance Team to ensure our technology meets compliance requirements.

Requirements

• Experience integrating a commercial mmWave radar solution into a shipping product.
• Working knowledge of radar fundamentals (range/velocity/angle resolution, point-cloud and tracking outputs), plus hands-on experience tuning detection and tracking parameters against real test data to hit product spec targets (range, detection accuracy, false-positive/negative rates, etc.).
• Comfortable across HW and FW - able to debug timing/GPIO-level issues (e.g. for TTFF analysis).
• Experience working directly with third party technology vendors to optimize device configuration and algorithms for our specific use cases.
• Experience with data analysis and visualization in Python.
• Proficient with test data reporting in a clear and succinct manner, such as generating plots, graphs, result tables, etc.

Qualifications

• BSEE or MSEE

Nice-to-Haves

• Hands-on experience with third party commercial SDKs - device configuration, parameter tuning, and extracting detection/point-cloud data.
• Experience with Passive Infrared Sensors
