At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Own the lidar modeling process related to theory, design, implementation, and validation of lidar models including material, radiometric, and internal processing.
• Work closely with our validation and rendering teams to demonstrate correlation, and create prebuilt sensor models to be used by our customers.
• Work closely with customers and sensor vendors to implement their specific models.
• Spend roughly 50% of your time on the validation of lidar models, and 50% of your time on model development.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 4+ years of experience.
• Demonstrated design and implementation of high fidelity lidar simulations in previous work.
• Knowledge about state of the art as well as theoretical operation of Lidar sensors.
• Knowledge about environmental effects and modeling approaches.
• Experience implementing models in Matlab, Python, or C++.
• Experience across design, execution, and analysis of experiments for evaluation of sensor performance.

Nice to have:

• Experience working with rendering engines such as Unreal Engine.
• Hands-on experience with Lidar hardware.
