At Ouster, we build sensors and tools for engineers, roboticists, and researchers, so they can make the world safer and more efficient.

Our advanced sensor hardware and vision algorithms are used in autonomous cars, drones and many other applications. If you're motivated by solving big problems, we're hiring key roles across the company and need your help
