The company combines custom silicon, integrated sensors, and software into a unified platform for robotics, mobility, and next-generation automation. Lyte is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with a global presence. For more information, visit www.lyte.ai\nIf you’re excited about building impactful technology in a dynamic, hands-on environment, we’d love to hear from you!\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking a Systems Algorithm Engineer to lead the development of Lyte’s advanced perception systems and signal-processing algorithm pipeline. This hands-on, autonomous role requires proven experience developing, verifying, integrating, and shipping hardware-oriented algorithms. Candidates should be able to prototype algorithms efficiently for FPGA and GPU platforms and transition them to silicon-optimized production implementations. You will work closely with cross-functional teams throughout all phases of autonomous systems and robotics product development. You will move between sensor algorithm development, integration, and test. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, algorithms and software, with a strong focus on modern DSP and performance evaluation.\nWhat you'll do\nResearch, develop, and test advanced signal processing algorithms for sensing applications using Python, MATLAB and C++.\nBuild a digital twin of our sensing platform and use it to analyze algorithm performance and system architecture decisions.\nDefine and maintain algorithmic specifications and present system performance metrics to cross-functional stakeholders.\nDesign and proof-of-concept new algorithms on prototyping platforms such as GPU.\nWork with embedded hardware to analyze algorithm performance in real-world conditions.\nBring-up new chipsets containing revisions to the core sensing algorithms.\nBuild and deploy automation for testing, evaluation, and day-to-day workflows.\nCollaborate with fast-paced global hardware and software teams.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field.\n3+ years of experience in algorithm development, signal processing, and hardware-integrated systems engineering\nStrong software engineering architecture and development skills in C, C++, and Python\nA working knowledge of probability, statistics and quantitative mathematics\nAbility to collaborate effectively with hardware, software and systems teams across distributed time zones.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with sensor modeling for simulation and/or hardware-in-loop environments\nHands-on experience with pytorch and/or CUDA\nStrong background in statistical signal processing for wireless communications, RADAR/LiDAR, or equivalent domains.\nFamiliarity with analog/front-end electronics and noise modelling.\nDomain knowledge in advanced perception, coherent imaging, LiDAR, or optical physics\nDemonstrated ability to rapidly build helpful automation tools to accelerate engineering velocity in production environments.\nA strong track record of picking up new skills, tools, and technical domains quickly\nBenefits (subject to location and local regulations)\nCompetitive salary and equity \nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage \n401(k) retirement plan \nFlexible vacation and time-off policy \nCollaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment \nOpportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional
