About the Company

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

Meet the Team:

The Vehicle Interface Team builds software solutions to operate the virtual driver on our autonomous trucks in close collaboration with internal and external partners. Our software components are the interface between the virtual driver and the truck platform. It is our task to develop these interface SW components in AUTOSAR Classic or Data Distribution Service based middleware solutions.

You will be developing in an agile team and be an interface between Torc and the vehicle integration at Daimler Trucks.

What you’ll do:

In this role, you will be working on software algorithms on the vehicle interface. You will support the transition of the currently used open-source software Robot Operating System (ROS) to automotive grade middleware standards.

You will focus on the development of the safety critical part, which requires the usage of AUTOSAR Classic. This includes development of application software as well as the integration on the safety controller.
