Job description

INTRODUCTION: At Ouster, we build sensors and tools for engineers, roboticists, and researchers so they can make the world safer and more efficient. We've transformed LIDAR from an analog device with thousands of components into an elegant digital device powered by one chip-scale laser array and one CMOS sensor. The result is a full range of high-resolution LIDAR sensors that deliver superior imaging at a dramatically lower price. We are taking this one step further by building industry focussed end-to-end Lidar-based Detection Technology solutions so our customers time-to-value is faster. Ouster Solutions caters to solving big problems in Smart Cities, Warehouse automation, Physical Security, and Mining to name a few. If you're passionate about solving complex problems in these fields, we need your help. We are looking for a Software Product Engineering Intern to own and drive the system engineering, product documentation, third-party product integrations, and verification and validation functions, to bring to market innovative end-to-end Lidar Detection Technology software solutions, thereby accelerating the global automation revolution for a safe and efficient future. This position will be reporting directly to the VP of Product. RESPONSIBILITIES: ➔ Serve as a critical bridge between the field and our internal teams. You'll gather and distill customer feedback and share insights with the product management and engineering teams to help shape the future of our product roadmap ➔ Develop system-level use cases, break them down into sub-system/product components, and establish a test bed. Define and execute verification and validation test plans for the identified use cases ➔ Design and build proof-of-concept (POC) solutions and custom demos that showcase the power and flexibility of our product. You'll be the expert in integrating our product into a customer's existing technology stack ➔ Build value-add integrations between Lidar detection platform and Video management systems such as Genetec and Milestone ➔ Empower the sales team by developing and maintaining technical sales assets. These include demo environments, presentation decks, data sheets, unique data sets for ML algorithm improvements, and best practice guides ➔ Triage customer-reported bugs, diagnose issues in the existing product, and identify the root cause of problems EXPERIENCE: ➔ Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. or a recent graduate, in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science ➔ Previous internship or project experience related to manufacturing, robotics, or electro-mechanical systems ➔ Experience with a scripting language like Python for test automation or data analysis ➔ Be able to roll-up sleeves and do mechanical fit up and installs The base pay will be dependent on your skills, work experience, location, and qualifications.
