About the role

Senior/Staff software engineer role focused on building onboard and platform software for autonomous mining vehicles, from sensor drivers and data pipelines to drive-by-wire control, deployment/monitoring, and cloud data integration.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the onboard software stack for autonomous mining vehicles, from sensor drivers through actuation commands, on industrial PCs that run in dust, vibration, and heat
  • Own time synchronization and calibration across LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, and GNSS so perception and localization get data they can trust
  • Build the pipelines that move sensor and telemetry data off the vehicle and into the cloud, including logging, recording, and labeling data for perception development and evaluation
  • Build deployment, monitoring, and fault-management tooling so we can update and operate a fleet of vehicles without logging into each one, and so the system detects and responds to software, sensor, compute, and network failures
  • Develop equipment simulations and test infrastructure, including replay of field logs, evaluation datasets, and vehicle models for acceleration, turning radius, and actuation latency
  • Integrate with drive-by-wire systems and write the low-level control logic and safety layer that connect the autonomy stack to the vehicle, including degraded operating modes and e-stop behavior
  • Work with MineOS and mine operations teams so the autonomy system exposes the health, faults, and metrics operators need to run it safely

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
  • 5-8+ years building software for robots, vehicles, or other systems that act in the physical world
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python, and experience with Linux and a robotics middleware such as ROS/ROS 2
  • Hands-on experience with sensor drivers, data pipelines, time synchronization, or calibration for LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMU, or GNSS
  • Working knowledge of real-time and embedded systems, networking, and debugging across the software-hardware boundary
  • Experience with simulation, logging and replay, or test and deployment infrastructure for robotics systems
  • Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, automotive, or off-highway equipment strongly preferred
