Ouster, Inc.
We transformed lidar from an analog device with thousands of components to 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.
Why join us?
We are changing the industry by changing how machines see the world.
We have over 400 customers. In just short 6 years we brought the company public and growing fast.
Our stack spans from mechanical over optics to silicone and software. There is tons to learn from our engineers who are master of their respective fields.
Engineering at Ouster, Inc.
We are a fast growing team. Working in a scrum with two weeks sprints. We have relatively flat structure with teams oriented around their primary responsibilities (firmware, optics, cloud, drivers).
Our stack and process differs slightly based on the team but we use git across the board to manage code and PR process.
We encourage our team members to take responsibility of their process/product. For software engineers this means to take care of their infrastructure and tests and deploy their code as often as possible.
The most interesting challenge is the breadth of the problem we tackle. First we have to design and build the sensor. We design chips, the optical system, the mechanical system. Once it is a designed we have to manufacture it. Then we can finally use it. We capture the data with it and we process that with a variety of algorithms we developed. Lidar data is pretty data heavy think 10sMB/s so it does get pretty heavy pretty quickly.
Design and build a library that displays large point clouds in the browser accelerated by the GPU
Design a machine learning algorithm that can segment and classify objects in a point cloud in real time.
Build an application that allows user to interact and review their lidar recordings, classify, categorize and share them.
