- Sensor R&D Engineer (GNSS Focus)\nDescription\nHardware Development Engineer (Sensor R&D - GNSS & System Planning Focus)\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a Hardware Development Engineer (Sensor R&D - GNSS & System Planning Focus) to join our Hardware & Integration team.\nThis role combines strong expertise in GNSS/INS positioning systems with system-level sensor planning and validation for autonomous driving vehicles.\nYou will be responsible for evaluating, selecting, integrating, and troubleshooting GNSS/INS solutions, while proactively designing and validating overall sensor configurations based on autonomous driving system requirements.\nWe value independent analytical thinking, the ability to identify problems and propose solutions, curiosity about unfamiliar technologies, and a collaborative spirit.\nWhy this role matters\nAutonomous driving performance depends on reliable positioning and well-designed sensor configurations.\nThis role ensures that GNSS/INS systems deliver accurate and stable positioning, while the overall sensor architecture provides sufficient coverage, accuracy, redundancy, and reliability to meet autonomous driving requirements.\nRather than simply implementing predefined requirements, you will actively identify system needs, propose sensor solutions, and validate their effectiveness through analysis and real-vehicle testing.\nKey responsibilities\nTake ownership of GNSS/INS sensor selection, integration, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting, including GNSS receivers, RTK systems, IMUs, antennas, and related hardware.\nAnalyze GNSS/INS performance, including positioning accuracy, availability, stability, RTK correction quality, INS alignment, and performance under GNSS-degraded conditions.\nUnderstand autonomous driving system requirements and proactively define overall sensor configurations, including sensor types, quantities, specifications, placement, and redundancy.\nDesign and optimize sensor layouts for cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU, and other sensors, considering coverage, occlusion, mounting, power, communication, synchronization, and environmental constraints.\nDevelop and execute sensor evaluation and validation plans, including performance benchmarks, bench testing, vehicle testing, and data analysis.\nIdentify sensor performance gaps and system-level risks, propose improvements, and verify their effectiveness through testing.\nTroubleshoot sensor, communication, synchronization, positioning, and hardware-software integration issues, coordinating root cause analysis with internal teams and suppliers.\nDrive sensor development and continuous improvement throughout prototyping, vehicle deployment, and field testing.\nWho we’re looking for\nRequirements\nHands-on experience with GNSS/RTK and GNSS/INS positioning systems, including integration, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting.\nSolid understanding of GNSS positioning principles, RTK correction mechanisms, IMU characteristics, and GNSS/INS integrated navigation.\nAbility to independently plan and design overall sensor configurations based on autonomous driving or robotics system requirements.\nExperience with sensor evaluation and validation, including defining test plans, analyzing results, and identifying performance limitations.\nFamiliarity with automotive or robotics sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS, and IMUs.\nAbility to analyze and troubleshoot sensor, network, synchronization, and hardware-software integration issues.\nWorking proficiency in at least two of the following languages:\nChinese, Japanese, and English.\nPreferred\nExperience designing sensor architectures or layouts for autonomous driving or ADAS vehicles.\nExperience evaluating GNSS/INS performance through real-vehicle testing and post-processing.\nFamiliarity with RTK correction services, NTRIP, and GNSS post-processing tools.\nExperience with GNSS/INS products from NovAtel, Applanix, Septentrio, or similar suppliers.\nUnderstanding of sensor coverage analysis, redundancy, and system-level performance evaluation.\nWorking knowledge of Linux, networking, and time synchronization (NTP/PTP).\nBasic Python or Bash scripting experience for testing, automation, and data analysis.\nHands-on experience with antennas, RF cables, connectors, wiring, and vehicle hardware integration.\nRequirements\nHardware Development Engineer (Sensor R&D - GNSS & System Planning Focus)\nAbout the role\nWe are looking
