Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Company Description Aeva is focused on delivering the next wave of perception technology for applications such as automated driving, manufacturing automation, smart infrastructure, robotics, and consumer devices. The company is accelerating autonomy with a perception platform that integrates lidar-on-chip technology, system-on-chip processing, and advanced perception algorithms using silicon photonics. Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely capture both velocity and position at the same time, enabling automated systems to make more intelligent and safer decisions. By pushing the boundaries of sensing and computation on silicon, Aeva offers a dynamic environment for professionals who want to build cutting-edge solutions in autonomy and perception.

Role Description This is a full-time, on-site Senior Embedded Software Engineer role based in Bengaluru. The person in this role will design, develop, and optimize embedded software for Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors and perception platforms, working closely with hardware, firmware, and algorithm teams. Day-to-day responsibilities include implementing real-time software components, integrating device drivers and communication interfaces, troubleshooting system-level issues, and improving performance, reliability, and safety of embedded systems. The role also involves code reviews, documentation of designs, collaboration on system architecture decisions, and support for validation, testing, and deployment of embedded solutions into production environments. The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will mentor team members, contribute to best practices in embedded development, and help ensure that Aeva’s products meet stringent quality and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in embedded software development using C/C++ for real-time systems, microcontrollers, or SoCs.
