Software Engineer, Perception

Amidon Heavy Industries is hiring a Software Engineer, Perception & Sensors to own the sensing stack end to end, from sensor selection through delivered data product. The role is responsible for choosing the right sensors, understanding how they behave in real maritime environments, and ensuring the data they produce is meaningful, interpretable, and fit for customer use.

Requirements

• Own the sensing stack end to end, from sensor evaluation and selection through perception outputs and delivered data products
• Evaluate, select, and validate sonar, camera, video, radar, and navigation sensors based on real-world performance rather than datasheets
• Characterize sensor behavior, noise, bias, resolution limits, latency, and failure modes in operational maritime conditions
• Develop perception and sensor fusion approaches that transform raw sensor signals into usable representations of the environment
• Define and enforce clear standards for acceptable data quality across sensing modalities
• Build tooling to visualize, replay, inspect, and audit raw and processed sensor data
• Diagnose sensing and perception failures during field operations and drive fixes at the sensor, software, or system level
• Partner with autonomy, systems, and downstream users to ensure perception outputs translate into a usable, trustworthy data product
