About The Position

Stoneridge, Inc. seeks a Senior Perception Engineer in Novi, MI. This role involves architecting conceptual designs for commercial vehicle perception systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams to define sensor placement, thermal constraints, and ECU requirements. The engineer will design and optimize multimodal ADAS features for commercial trucks by integrating inputs from various sensors to enhance perception accuracy and robustness. The position requires developing, deploying, and debugging real-time, safety-critical embedded software in C/C++ and Python on diverse SoCs and MCUs. Responsibilities include configuring and optimizing low-level software environments, implementing and benchmarking computer vision algorithms, and accelerating deep neural network inference for edge deployment. The role also encompasses engineering the full lifecycle of sensor integration, contributing to software compliant with functional safety and cybersecurity standards within an agile framework, and authoring technical documentation. The company, Stoneridge, has designed and manufactured advanced technologies since 1965 for various vehicle markets, focusing on safety, vehicle intelligence, and fuel efficiency.
