Cepton is looking for a software generalist with specific interests in either low level bare metal embedded systems or computer vision and 3D perception algorithms. With 3D point-cloud generated by a lidar, some difficult problems become easy and some impossible tasks are now feasible. These areas are often unexplored and lacking established best practice. At the same time, solutions in these areas are usually immediately effective in solving pressing real world problems. Join us to explore this exciting new space opened up by the advent of high density lidars.
We are at the cutting edge of technological advancement. We look for people who are tool-builders instead of tool-users, people who understand how things work and why it works, not just how to use them. We value one's ability to learn higher than the knowledge one has acquired in the past. We like people who strive to solve a problem in new and creative ways instead of seeking conventional wisdom. We enjoy solving hard problems. Join us to work with like-minded people to face the challenges posed by the new era of computing together.
Job Responsibilities
(Our projects come from different software engineering disciplines, but our people work in a single flat organization. We always encourage people to explore and learn new things.)
