Staff Software Engineer - Frameworks

Skills

About the Role

You will define and evolve the architecture of the AV runtime framework across on-vehicle and offline execution, design low-latency inter-module communication such as shared memory, zero-copy IPC and RPC, and own stack configuration, deployment and process lifecycle on the vehicle compute platform. You will improve offline execution determinism, build fault traceability and health monitoring capabilities, design intuitive C++ APIs, support field testing, and mentor senior engineers while driving the long-term roadmap.
