About the Role
You will design, implement, and optimize production-ready software that connects autonomy capabilities with mission-control, remote-assistance, route-advisor, and on-truck-management systems. You will lead real-time C++ development for vehicle guidance and status monitoring, translate system requirements into scalable architectures and algorithms, and support simulation, testing, safety-critical development, and cross-functional integration.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field with 4+ years of experience, or a Master’s degree with 0–3+ years of experience
- Strong C++14/17 or later programming skills
- Experience with real-time, safety-critical, or high-performance applications
- Knowledge of vehicle dynamics and kinematic models
- Ability to write clean, maintainable, testable code
- 5+ years of embedded software architecture, design, and implementation experience
- Experience optimizing C++ code for speed and memory usage
- Experience with unit and/or system-level testing
- Technical documentation skills
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize interfaces between autonomy and mission-management systems
- Lead development of real-time C++ software for vehicle guidance and status monitoring
- Translate system-level requirements into scalable software architectures, algorithms, component requirements, and verification artifacts
- Contribute to simulation and testing frameworks for algorithm validation
- Collaborate with back-office, perception, controls, and safety functions on end-to-end integration
- Mentor peers through technical reviews, best practices, and hands-on collaboration
- Research route-planning methods and integrate appropriate machine-learning techniques
- Improve software quality, safety, performance, and development processes
- Support safety-critical development aligned with automotive standards and production release requirements
- Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
