  • Integrate software with sensors, actuators, and vehicle systems (e.g., CAN, Ethernet)
  • Debug and resolve complex issues from simulation to field deployment
  • Ensure software quality via testing, CI/CD, and performance optimization
  • Contribute to technical roadmaps, risk assessments, and long-term strategy

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or related field (Master’s preferred)
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience (autonomy, robotics, or real-time systems preferred)
  • Strong proficiency in C++ (required) and Python
  • Experience with large-scale, production software systems
  • Strong knowledge of Linux, multithreading, memory management, and performance optimization
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 or similar robotics frameworks
  • Background in perception systems (LiDAR, camera, radar, sensor fusion)
  • Familiarity with motion planning, control algorithms, or mapping
  • Experience with simulation, HIL/SIL, or synthetic data pipelines
  • Exposure to embedded systems, real-time constraints, or GPU/edge computing
  • Experience in automotive, construction, mining, or industrial autonomy domains
  • Knowledge of safety-critical systems and functional safety practices
  • Strong communication and technical documentation skills
  • Ability to work effectively in globally distributed teams
  • Leadership mindset with mentoring capabilities

What we offer

  • Global Diversity: Be part of an international team of 110+ nationalities
  • Trust and Growth: 70% of our leaders starting at entry-level
