In this role, the intern will help evaluate and optimize production-intended sensors (LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU, cameras) for our autonomous trucks
You’ll work across hardware and software boundaries: characterizing sensor behavior, improving multi-sensor time synchronization, and integrating safety-relevant checks and diagnostics into our platform
Design and execute sensor evaluation experiments for LiDARs, radars, and other sensors used in our production stack
Characterize bandwidth, latency, jitter, and packet loss for different sensors and configurations
Contribute to sensor driver and data pipeline improvements in C++ and Python
Analyze and improve multi-sensor time synchronization (PTP/gPTP, NIC hardware timestamps, clock offset/jitter measurement)
Investigate phase alignment between LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU, and vehicle motion signals for better fusion and perception performance
Support integration of sensor safety concepts, such as basic health and status monitoring
Build tooling and dashboards to visualize sensor performance (latency histograms, bandwidth plots, sync error, etc.)
Document findings and present recommendations to the robotics / perception / systems teams
