Your role in the team
- Role OverviewAs our Radar Firmware Engineer, you work on the firmware that runs the radar signal chain on our sensor nodes.
- You implement waveform control and signal processing algorithms bare metal on an NXP radar SoC driving our 77 GHz front end, verify them against measurements in the lab, and help keep the chain inside its timing, memory, and power budget.
- Our Senior Radar Firmware Engineer and Radar Systems Architect define the firmware architecture and the algorithm designs, and you implement them onto the target.
- Key Responsibilities- Implement radar signal processing algorithms bare metal on the DSP cores of our NXP radar SoC
- Implement waveform generation, timing, and control for the 77 GHz front end
- Verify algorithm behaviour against lab measurements, including the test setups needed for it
- Measure and improve runtime, memory, and power consumption on the target hardware
- Contribute to the micro-Doppler data products that the perception team's classification models utilize
- Debug firmware and hardware interactions on the bench together with our hardware engineers
- Work with the embedded Linux team on interfaces, build integration, and firmware updates
