About Phantom AI
At Phantom AI, we're on a mission to redefine vehicle safety and autonomy. Our System & Validation Team builds the tools and infrastructure to ensure our products meet the highest reliability, performance, and safety standards. We're looking for a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of software design, machine learning, data science, and simulation.
What You'll Do
- Simulation: Improve the efficiency, reliability, and trustworthiness of our simulation framework(HILS and SILS). Our simulations replay real-world sensor and vehicle data into the vision software running on actual boards, enabling deterministic validation of behavior and decision-making.
- Data Logging & Telemetry: Design and maintain high-throughput logging services to capture raw sensor data (Camera, Radar, LiDAR) and vehicle bus data (CAN/Ethernet). Ensure data integrity and time synchronization across distributed systems
- Optimize & Scale: Enhance the performance and scalability of our evaluation frameworks.
- Build Validation Infrastructure: Design, develop, and maintain tools for data collection, data processing, simulation, evaluation, visualization, and analysis.
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with ML researchers, perception engineers, and vehicle test engineers to translate requirements into robust vision software.
What We're Looking For
Must‑Haves
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of experience delivering complex, production-quality software
- Expert-level Python skills and solid software‑design experience
- Proficiency with Git and familiarity with C++
- Comfortable on Linux: command‑line fluency, Bash scripting, and debugging
- Working knowledge of ROS (preferably ROS 2)
- Hands-on experience with HILS, SILS, or board-level simulation system setup and maintenance
- Experience with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet) and data logging workflows
Nice‑to‑Haves
- Hands‑on experience in ADAS, computer vision, autonomous driving, or robotics
- Working knowledge of OpenCV
- Knowledge of hardware debugging and electrical/electronic system integration
- Master's degree or higher in a relevant area
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Impact: Your code directly contributes to making roads safer for millions of drivers.
- Growth: Collaborate with experts in ML, simulation, and automotive testing—and expand your skillset across domains.
- Culture: Join a tight‑knit team that values innovation, curiosity, and continuous learning.
