Software Engineer, C++ (Onboard Platform)

The role

You will design the runtime architecture of the onboard stack for Level 4 autonomous vehicles. This includes managing process scheduling, communication, and system degradation to ensure reliability on real trucks.

What you will do

• Shape how Level 4 autonomy and physical AI reach the real world
• Design the runtime architecture of the onboard stack
• Combine state-of-the-art AI and classical modules
• Trace on-road failures from application symptoms to root causes
• Make a real-time system faster and more predictable on production compute
• Decide how the platform detects and escalates faults
• Build measurement systems for the stack
• Bring the self-driving stack up on new compute platforms and vehicles
• Set broad, cross-functional technical direction with other engineers

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 4+ years of experience shipping complex software in C++14 and above
• Strong system design and engineering fundamentals
• Experience leading the design of a system, from design document through production
• Working knowledge of operating system internals, such as scheduling, memory management, threading, and inter-process communication
• Experience debugging problems that cross the boundary between application code, the operating system, and hardware

Nice to have

• Experience developing onboard application software, in autonomy, ADAS, or robotics
• Experience with real-time systems, an RTOS, or QNX
• Experience with robotics middleware or shared-memory communication, such as ROS 2 or DDS
• Experience with profiling and tracing tools
• Experience with vehicle hardware and networks such as CAN
• Experience mentoring software engineers
• Professional experience with Python
