Job Description

Who are we?

Oxa is enabling the transition to self-driving vehicles through an initial focus on the most commercially advanced sector; the autonomous shuttling of goods and people.We are home to some of the world's leading experts on autonomous vehicles, creating solutions such as Oxa Driver, equipping vehicles with full self-driving functionality; Oxa MetaDriver, using Generative AI to accelerate and assure the safety of deployments; and Oxa Hub, a set of cloud-based offerings for autonomous fleet management. Our technology is being deployed across the UK and the U.S, and we're partnering with a fast-growing ecosystem of operators, vehicle OEMs and equipment makers serving autonomous transportation globally as it advances.

Based in Oxford, and with offices in Canada and the U.S, Oxa was founded in 2014 and is growing rapidly (350+ ‘Oxbots' to date). Our purpose is to change the way the Earth moves, through an uncompromising focus on safety, efficiency and explainability of our AI approaches. The company has attracted $225 million from leading investors so far, with $140 million raised in the last Series C funding round in January 2023.

Your Team:

Autonomous vehicles depend on sensor data. The quality and dependability. Sensor data is central to performance and safety. The Sensor & Compute team is therefore at the very heart of Oxa's software and platform development. This team makes it possible for vehicles to know where they are and what is around them. Furthermore, by analysing the quality of data at run-time, the products of Sensor & Compute team allows vehicles to gauge and predict their own performance and safety margins.

The diversity of sensor types along with a multitude of calibration, data quality, and inference challenges makes the Sensor & Compute team a fast-paced and exciting team.

We are a dynamic and engaged group of people from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, all working together towards our goal of Universal Autonomy. We would like you to join us.

The Sensor & Compute team is responsible for developing high-performance sensor drivers, with a strong emphasis on working closely with development teams to understand their needs. We care about sensor quality, health, and optimality with respect to our algorithms. We ensure that interfaces are well-defined and documented. We ensure that all teams are fully supported. We are the eyes and ears of the system.

Your Role:

    • Designing and defining AV sensor suite architecture and configurations based on the cutting edge technology and internal & external customers requirements.
    • The whole life cycle of sensor R&D and implementation to AV, including requirements analysis, investigation sensors performance, evaluation testing, sensor development planning, developing drivers, system integration testing and issue solving.
    • Maintaining and updating sensor drivers, with a focus on applications on low-power embedded devices
    • Developing sensor introspection capabilities to ensure that sensor data is high-fidelity and the autonomy system it serves can leverage the full capability of a sensor. This includes developing algorithms and techniques to ensure time synchronisation and timestamp estimation.
    • Designing and developing software diagnostic features to monitor sensor health (performance, degradation, fault detection). Developing system plugins to allow the autonomous system to make informed safety decisions on the basis of sensor health.
    • Analysing and improving sensor data quality to get accurate information from the real world.
    • Producing high-quality C++ code and actively contributing to peer coding reviews.
    • Supporting team members to improve sensor development quality.
    • Working with stakeholders across the company to understand requirements and provide tools to support vehicle commissioning, calibration, synchronisation

Requirements

What you need to succeed:

    • 5+ years experience in related industry.
    • Understanding of different sensor modalities and their characteristics and experience working with them.
    • C++14/17 programming skills
    • A first class understanding of how to develop and debug performant C++ software
    • Experience with time synchronisation and calibration in robotics applications
    • Ability to communicate clearly on technical matters and work well with multiple stakeholders across several teams

Extra kudos if you have:

  • Experience in software development for embedded devices
  • Experience in optimising C++ code for low-powered devices

The Candidate Journey: Multi-Step and Two-Way

No-one wants to feel like a square peg in a round hole, so this process is designed to give you every chance to get the measure of us, and us of you. The various stages give you every opportunity to show your unique strengths and qualities, and enables each of us to establish if we're a good fit for the other. If the fit is good and you're selected, you're then in a position to do great work and thrive, which is what everyone wants.

Benefits

We provide:

      • Competitive salary, benchmarked against the market and reviewed annually
      • Hybrid and/or flexible work arrangements
      • An outstanding £3,000 flexible benefits including private medical insurance, critical illness coverage, life assurance, EAP, group income protection
      • A salary exchange pension plan
      • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
      • A pet-friendly office environment
      • Safe assigned spaces for team members with individual and diverse needs

Our Culture

Diversity is a marathon not a sprint! It is a journey with no destination. We are on a mission to unlock the benefits of self-driving technology to every person and organisation on the planet. We are creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work which put simply is the right thing to do. We hire and nurture those we can learn from, valuing diversity and the innovation that this drives.

We apply a neuro inclusive lens to our recruitment process and want each potential Oxbot to enjoy the best experience possible for them. We promote an open and inclusive culture that empowers our Oxbots to bring their whole, authentic selves to work every day. Oxa is proud to be an inclusive organisation and, as such, we require all team members within our recruitment process to understand and deploy best practices focused on de-biasing the whole recruitment cycle.

Why become an Oxbot?

Our team of experts in computer science, AI, robotics and machine learning is world-class, and together they're solving the most exciting and important technological challenges of our times.

But as well as smarts, Oxbots have heart. Our diverse, multi-cultural crew is guided by a shared vision to bring the myriad benefits of autonomy to our customers and partners. And in a company that celebrates uniqueness as much as skill and experience, they do it with energy, conviction and a healthy dose of excitement, too.

If you are bold, creative and hyper skilled, come and create the future of autonomy with us at Oxa.
