★JD103 - Sensor R&D Engineer (GNSS Focus)

• ★JD103 - Sensor R&D Engineer (GNSS Focus)
• We are looking for a Hardware Development Engineer (Sensor R&D – GNSS & System Planning Focus) to join our Hardware & Integration team.

Responsibilities

• Hardware Development Engineer (Sensor R&D – GNSS & System Planning Focus)
• This role combines strong expertise in GNSS/INS positioning systems with system-level sensor planning and validation for autonomous driving vehicles.
• You 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.
• We value independent analytical thinking, the ability to identify problems and propose solutions, curiosity about unfamiliar technologies, and a collaborative spirit.
• Autonomous driving performance depends on reliable positioning and well-designed sensor configurations.
• This 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.
• Rather than simply implementing predefined requirements, you will actively identify system needs, propose sensor solutions, and validate their effectiveness through analysis and real-vehicle testing.
• Take ownership of GNSS/INS sensor selection, integration, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting, including GNSS receivers, RTK systems, IMUs, antennas, and related hardware.
• Analyze GNSS/INS performance, including positioning accuracy, availability, stability, RTK correction quality, INS alignment, and performance under GNSS-degraded conditions.
• Understand autonomous driving system requirements and proactively define overall sensor configurations, including sensor types, quantities, specifications, placement, and redundancy.
• Design and optimize sensor layouts for cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU, and other sensors, considering coverage, occlusion, mounting, power, communication, synchronization, and environmental constraints.
• Develop and execute sensor evaluation and validation plans, including performance benchmarks, bench testing, vehicle testing, and data analysis.
• Identify sensor performance gaps and system-level risks, propose improvements, and verify their effectiveness through testing.
• Troubleshoot sensor, communication, synchronization, positioning, and hardware–software integration issues, coordinating root cause analysis with internal teams and suppliers.
• Drive sensor development and continuous improvement throughout prototyping, vehicle deployment, and field testing.
• Hands-on experience with GNSS/RTK and GNSS/INS positioning systems, including integration, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting.
• Solid understanding of GNSS positioning principles, RTK correction mechanisms, IMU characteristics, and GNSS/INS integrated navigation.
