Job Description

At Ouster, we build sensors and tools for engineers, roboticists, and researchers, so they can make the world safer and more efficient. We've transformed LIDAR from an analog device with thousands of components to an elegant digital device powered by one chip-scale laser array and one CMOS sensor. The result is a full range of high-resolution LIDAR sensors that deliver superior imaging at a dramatically lower price. Our advanced sensor hardware and vision algorithms are used in autonomous cars, drones and many other applications. If you’re motivated by solving big problems, we’re hiring key roles across the company and need your help!

As the Sr or Staff level for the Embedded Engineering team, you will be responsible for architecting, executing, and building the embedded software that powers our lidar firmware system. You will work as a technical peer to the team lead alongside a team of talented ICs with expertise in Linux, C, and C++, Rust, and Python. Your breadth of experience should allow you to both architect the high-level system and implement low-level modules. In addition, you will work closely with the entire firmware team to provide guidance and align on technical direction. Strong communication and a desire to learn are required for our entire team! Come build lidar with us!

This is an onsite position based in our San Francisco, CA office. 

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Mastery of Modern C++ for embedded systems
  • Strong experience with Rust and Python
  • Strong experience with Linux kernel/driver development
  • Strong experience working with complex embedded systems and bring-up
  • Strong experience with ARM-A class SoCs (TDA4x, AMD Zynq, or similar)
  • Results-oriented, and able to set and meet schedules in a fast-paced and dynamic start-up environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Security
  • RTOS development
  • Functional safety (FuSa, ISO26262, ASIL-B, SIL-2)
  • CI/CD, HIL, Test Infrastructure
  • Networking
  • SIMD/VLIW programming
  • Multi-core synchronization and IPC

The base pay will be dependent on your skills, work experience, location, and qualifications. This role may also be eligible for equity & benefits. ($160,000 - $220,000)

We acknowledge the confidence gap at Ouster. You do not need to meet all of these requirements to be the ideal candidate for this role.
