Our team is responsible for developing platform and middleware features for self-driving cars. This includes software that interacts with various sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, radar, GPS, IMU, and CAN. We are seeking candidates with interests in inventing, developing, and maintaining application frameworks and tools for multi-computer and heterogeneous architectures. The role involves collaborating with teams across the stack: hardware, embedded software, and cloud infrastructure.

What you'll be doing:

Drive AI-based automotive systems from design through production, within power and performance constraints.

Work with hardware teams to help shape future platforms for industry-leading power efficiency.

Triage and debug stability, performance, and power issues in sophisticated systems and applications.

Design systems to comply with ISO 26262 functional safety and security requirements.

What we need to see:

BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

12+ years of professional experience working on system software.

Excellent programming skills in C++ and C.

Solid understanding of QNX, Linux, or real-time operating systems.

Experience in developing user-space system software, with a willingness to delve into kernel-space and/or low-level hardware when needed.

Knowledge of embedded systems programming, threading, synchronization mechanisms, communication frameworks, and parallel computing to build highly scalable and efficient applications.

Familiarity with CPU/GPU architectures, memory subsystems, and performance optimization.

Prior experience working in any of the following areas: autonomous vehicles, robotics, GPU, and embedded systems.

Outstanding communication and collaboration skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Deep understanding of system architecture: CPU, GPU, memory, Ethernet, and storage.

Experience developing autonomous vehicles or robotic systems.

Hands-on experience in embedded development, operating systems, and real-time software.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.

The base salary range is 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until August 29, 2026.
