Who We Are:

Zendar is creating a high-resolution radar imaging system that has resolution similar to lidar, allowing cars to see the driving world in all conditions and at long distances to travel at high speeds. We want to change the role of radar in the Advanced driving assist (ADAS) sensor stack and demonstrate that radars can take on many of the functions of lidar at a much lower cost. Zendar has pioneered a software-defined radar technology which fuses data streams from multiple sensors to build a more accurate scene and utilizes machine learning to understand the environment. All of this works in an embedded AI processor with tight latency and performance guarantees to deliver reliable sensing and perception.

Zendar was founded in the San Francisco Bay area, at the very heart of one of the most advanced regions in the development of advanced vehicles technologies. We also have offices in Germany and France.

Zendar has a diverse and dynamic team of electrical, mechanical, RF, algorithms and software engineers with a deep background in sensing technology. Zendar is backed by Tier-1 VCs, has raised more than $50M in funding and has established strong partnerships with industry leaders. Our team has more than doubled in number over the last year as our technology has gained traction in the automotive and agriculture industries.

Who You Are:

Our Software Platform team builds all the sensor, data, and demo infrastructure that makes Zendar run. As a result, this team interacts with every other engineering team at Zendar to do things like integrate and bring up new sensors, launch demos of new algorithms, visualize radar data in real time, and scalably collect data for training ML models. All of this comes together in our evaluation kit (EVK) which is the primary way that our customers interact with all of Zendar's technology.

We are hiring a Software Engineer to join this team. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, including more hardware-focused ones (such as bringing up new sensors) and more software-focused ones such as integrating new algorithms and visualizations. You will join a team of senior engineers whose experience ranges all the way from low-level device drivers up to UI development. As a part of a small team, you will gain exposure to all those levels of abstraction and contribute across a wide range of project types. This role is ideal for someone with very strong software fundamentals, and comfort and eagerness to learn new domains and challenge themself.

Your responsibilities will include developing software, including by working with hardware, that spans the areas described here.

What We Look For:

• 0-3 years of experience with software development
• Excellent Python skills
• Great communication and teamwork
• Eagerness to challenge yourself and learn new things

Bonus Points:

• Experience with C++
• Experience with Javascript
• Experience working with hardware (eg sensors, Arduinos, robots, etc)

What We Have To Offer:

• Opportunity to make an impact at a young, venture-backed company in an emerging market
• Competitive salary ranging from $120-145k annually depending on experience
• Performance based Bonus
• Benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, flexible PTO, and equity
• Daily catered lunch and a stocked fridge (when working in the Berkeley, CA office)
