Job description
Cepton(Nasdaq: CPTN), a leading intelligent lidar solution provider, is looking for a stellar Perception Software Engineer who is interested in computer vision and AI. With 3D point cloud generated by lidar, some difficult problems become easy and some impossible tasks are now feasible. These areas are often unexplored and lack established best practice. At the same time, solutions in these areas are often immediately effective in solving pressing real world problems. Join us to explore this exciting new space opened up by the advent of high density lidars.

We are at the forefront of technological advancement, we seek passionate innovators—those who are not just tool users, but true tool-builders. We value individuals who understand the intricacies of how things work and why they function the way they do, rather than simply knowing how to use them.

We prioritize a growth mindset over past knowledge, valuing your ability to learn and adapt. We appreciate creative problem solvers who challenge conventional wisdom and seek fresh, innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Join us and collaborate with like-minded individuals who are excited to tackle the obstacles of this new era of computing. Together, we can push boundaries and redefine what’s possible.

Here at Cepton, we value one's ability to learn more than the knowledge one has acquired in the past. We like people who strive to solve a problem in new and creative ways instead of seeking conventional wisdom, we enjoy solving hard problems together. As we are at the cutting edge of technological advancement, join us if you are willing to work with like-minded people to face the challenges posed by the new era of technology together.

What You Will Do:

Our projects come from different software engineering disciplines, but our people work in a single flat organization. We always encourage people to explore and learn new things through self discovery.

Responsibilities:

· Develop and Enhance Algorithms: Implement and refine perception and visualization algorithms to improve system performance.

· Leverage Computer Vision: Utilize computer vision and deep learning techniques to extract high-level insights from raw Lidar point clouds.
