About the role

Embedded Software role focused on low-level, safety-critical software for autonomous trucking platforms. Hybrid onsite collaboration with Compute, Hardware, and Sensor teams, involving hardware access, safety features, and development of reusable embedded code.

Responsibilities

  • - Implement low-level, safety critical embedded software for truck control functions such as engine control, steering and braking.
  • - Integrate sensors and vehicle actuation feedback with localization and control systems to implement redundant safety features.
  • - Collaborate with hardware, safety and systems teams on design, build and validation of highly reliable next generation systems.
  • - Develop software according to industry-best practices for safe, reliable and robust code.
  • - Support the bring up and operation of the autonomous platform, both remotely and on-site.
  • - Work with other software and autonomy engineers on implementing the low-level functions necessary to drive success in the autonomous vehicle field.

Qualifications

  • - An experienced (5+ years) developer who codes embedded software on low level ARM microcontrollers and processors (sometimes with an RTOS) with one hand while wielding an oscilloscope probe with the other.
  • - A developer who cares about building beautiful (but pragmatic) reusable embedded code and the systems to test and maintain that code.
  • - A technical leader who enjoys mentoring junior developers and engineers and collaborating across teams
  • - Deep experience with C/C++/Rust (Rust preferred).
  • - Experienced working on safety-critical, hi-reliability software projects following relevant industry safety standards.
