Job Description

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 to an elegant digital device powered by one chip-scale laser array and one CMOS sensor.

Our advanced sensor hardware and vision algorithms are used in autonomous cars, drones and many other applications.
