Argo AI was founded to tackle one of the most challenging applications in computer science, robotics and artificial intelligence with self-driving vehicles. Argo AI is developing and deploying the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision to help build safe and efficient self-driving vehicles that enable these transformations and more. The challenges are significant, but we are a team that believes in tackling hard, meaningful problems to improve the world.

We are building a high-performance team that is excited by complex engineering challenges and is passionate about making transportation safer, more affordable and accessible for all.

The Argo Lidar team is developing a disruptive Geiger-mode lidar system enabling rich point cloud range and resolution beyond what is available in the market today for autonomous vehicles. What this means for our customers is a more capable sensor which enables safer and higher performance autonomous perception systems

Our lidar team has a decade of history in delivering Geiger-mode products for other industries, and we are optimizing these technologies for automotive-oriented mass production. Our design is novel from a technical standpoint and offers performance essential to scaling the deployment of driverless cars.

The electronics platform links the lasers, sensors, optics, and processing sub-assemblies together into a coherent high performance electrical system. Because of the integrated nature of this design, you will regularly interface with cross-functional engineers to design within the constraints and performance requirements of the lidar and autonomy system.

What you’ll do:

  • Develop analog, mixed signal technologies, and high-speed digital electronic circuits for automotive lidar
  • Perform component selection, schematic capture, circuit analysis, and simulation of designs
  • Work with component manufacturers and vendors on new and existing technology for integration into designs
  • Work with PCB designers to meet performance, mechanical, thermal and reliability requirements
  • Test and characterize prototype assemblies for designed functionality and performance
  • Support system integration and testing
  • Work with contract manufacturers in support of engineering and design transfer to volume production
  • Develop concise documentation of designs, test plans, test results and analysis

What we’re looking for:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics or a related field
  • Strong history of industry experience in product design including recent experience owning & delivering on the full lifecycle of a product development; from initial requirements generation, prototyping and troubleshooting, through transfer to contract manufacturing in a fast paced environment.
  • Strong PCB schematic and layout design skills, including mixed signal and high-speed design.  Preference for candidates with working experience in the Altium Designer toolset
  • Working knowledge of standard bench equipment; oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, etc.
  • Experience developing complex hardware systems in automotive and robotics, aerospace, consumer electronics, defense, medical or similar industries
  • Experience with digital communication protocols
  • Experience writing robust engineering documentation used by cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with electromechanical components or sensors
  • Prefer experience in functional testing, reliability testing, and qualification of complex systems
  • Prefer experience with design-in of FPGAs, microprocessors, or other complex digital ICs
  • Prefer experience with PLM, PDM, ECO, and BOM tools and processes

At Argo AI, we have a strong emphasis on creating a highly effective team environment. Thus, we seek candidates that can work effectively with others across a broad range of disciplines.

Argo AI is an equal opportunity employer that believes in diversity as a strength and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

We know it takes competitive benefits to fuel a team that works hard and enjoys the challenge. At Argo AI, you can expect stellar perks to support your best self:

  • High-quality individual and family health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Competitive compensation packages
  • Employer-matched 401(k) retirement plan
  • Paid parental leave
  • Unlimited vacation
  • Daily catered lunches and snacks
  • Free onsite or adjacent parking
  • Commuter reimbursement
  • Fitness reimbursement
  • Professional development reimbursement

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities1. To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.

How do I know if I have a disability?

You are considered to have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment or medical condition that substantially limits a major life activity, or if you have a history or record of such an impairment or medical condition.
