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 electronic circuit designs for automotive LiDAR imaging and data acquisition systems, including analog, high-speed digital, and mixed signal technologies
  • Develop FPGA and embedded microcontroller firmware (Verilog, VHDL and C) to support image acquisition, data processing, communications and control functions
  • 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 printed circuit place and route subcontractors to meet performance, mechanical, thermal and reliability requirements
  • Test and characterize prototype assemblies for designed functionality and performance
  • Working knowledge of standard bench equipment; oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, etc
  • Verify, debug and modify FPGA and microcontroller code
  • Support system integration and testing
  • Work with contract manufacturers in support of engineering and design transfer to volume production
  • Active participation in electronics and system and development team meetings
  • Develop concise documentation of designs, test plans, test results and analysis

What we’re looking for:

  • Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical 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 logic design skills. Preference for candidates who have designed in System Verilog and VHDL for Xilinx platforms (Vivado workflow).
  • Experience with FPGA, complex SoC, and embedded microcontroller based designs and the associated tools of the trade
  • 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
  • Experience developing complex hardware systems in automotive and robotics, aerospace, consumer electronics, defense, medical or similar industries
  • Experience with hardware components for imaging / automotive systems including sensing, processing and communication protocols
  • Experience writing robust engineering documentation used by cross-functional teams.
  • Experience in functional testing, reliability testing, and qualification of complex systems
  • 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

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

Individuals seeking employment at Argo AI are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation. You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. 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?
