  • Act as technical authority on how Encord handles 3D point clouds, sensor fusion, temporal sequences, and multimodal annotation
  • Build bespoke POCs for LiDAR data ingestion, point cloud processing, coordinate transformations, and sensor calibration
  • Develop custom integrations with robotics/AV stacks (MCAP, ROS, Apollo, Autoware)
  • Create technical demos showcasing LiDAR annotation, 3D bounding boxes, semantic segmentation, and multi-sensor fusion
  • Debug complex issues involving point cloud rendering, sensor calibration matrices, and multimodal data synchronization
  • Guide prospects through technical evaluations of LiDAR formats, sensor configurations, and annotation requirements
  • Provide expert consultation on 3D annotation best practices, coordinate conventions, and quality control workflows
  • Partner with Account Executives to co-own technical wins in enterprise sales cycles
  • Translate technical capabilities into business value for CTOs and senior stakeholders
  • Channel customer feedback to Product and Engineering teams to shape our roadmap

Requirements

  • 1+ years working with LiDAR data in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or physical AI applications

  • 3D perception knowledge — point cloud processing, 3D object detection, semantic segmentation, SLAM
  • Autonomous systems experience with ROS, sensor calibration, coordinate transformations, and multimodal sensor integration
  • Prior experience in a customer-facing technical role (Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, or similar)
  • Expert in LiDAR data formats (PCD, LAS, PLY, etc.) and point cloud processing
  • Understanding of sensor calibration, coordinate transformations, and sensor fusion
  • Knowledge of ML frameworks, model development processes, and perception model requirements
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), APIs, and SaaS platforms

Benefits

  • Competitive salary, commission, and meaningful equity in a high-growth startup
  • Clear, accelerated growth opportunities as the company scales rapidly
  • Strong in-person culture: 3–5 days/week in our newly launched North Beach loft office
