Required Skills
C/C++
Requirements
  • Have at least 3+ years working in C++
  • Have experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities
  • Want to work on building and integrating model/software/hardware-in-the-loop components by leveraging first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more)
  • Love building platform and infrastructure tooling that enables other software engineers to scale their output
  • Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale
  • Are a U.S. Person because of required access to U.S. export controlled information
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience working with a variety of programming languages such as C, Rust, Python, etc.
  • Experience working in real time systems such as robotics, networking, tracking and fusion, modeling and simulation, game development, 3D graphics, etc.
  • Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. If you've succeeded in a low structure, high autonomy environment you'll succeed here!
  • Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CICD systems, etc.
  • A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node
  • Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements.
  • Experience with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems)
  • Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
  • Experience implementing robot or autonomous vehicle testing frameworks in a software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environment
  • Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform)
  • Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process
  • Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices
  • A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration
