Description
About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions. 

Role Overview:
You will drive the architecture and development of the software infrastructure used for assembly, test and production infrastructure in the manufacturing line for Aeva’s 4D lidar sensors.

What you'll be doing:

  • Lead a team of skilled engineers dedicated to designing, implementing, and maintaining automated hardware assembly and test infrastructure.
  • Architect, design, and develop a robust and scalable Python & C++ based software platform for performing hardware assembly and test station automation in the manufacturing line.
  • Work on the full software stack, enabling automation of complex sensor and component alignment and tests, robot-based part handling for fully automated manufacturing lines, designing control interfaces, integration with factory automation and standardizing data components, and optimizing calibration procedures.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with database, embedded software, hardware test, and signal processing, and other teams to ensure we build the best possible solutions.
  • Collaborate with project managers to define project scopes, schedules, and resource allocations, ensuring timely and successful project deliveries.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to team members, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.

What you'll have:

  • BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 15+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on developing automation solutions for manufacturing lines.
  • Strong proficiency in Python & C++ programming and relevant libraries/frameworks for hardware test automation.
  • Experience with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) practices, unit and integration testing, and version control.
  • Previous experience in leading and managing teams, fostering collaboration, and driving results.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex technical issues and provide effective solutions.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities and projects simultaneously.

Nice to haves:

  • Familiar with protocols used for instrument communication, including serial, USB, Ethernet, GPIB, etc.
  • User interface design experience, preferably using the PyQt framework.
  • Experience building applications that use threading and/or multiprocessing.

What's in it for you:

  • Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
  • Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
  • Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
  • Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
