Software Engineer

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a Software Engineer in Blacksburg, VA.

Overview:
We are seeking Software Engineers to support a Fleet Operations and Enablement team in building automated HD map-to-simulation pipelines for autonomous vehicle development. The Engineers will help eliminate manual map-staging processes by developing production-ready middleware, APIs, and automation that ingest HD map updates, transform them into simulation-ready formats, and automatically trigger large-scale regression testing.

Responsibilities:
* Design and build middleware, APIs, and automated pipelines to ingest and transform HD mapping data for simulation
* Replace manual map-staging workflows with scalable, reliable automation
* Build and enhance continuous simulation regression testing triggered by map updates
* Develop tooling to detect structural map changes such as lane modifications, geometry changes, and construction zones
* Connect identified map changes to applicable simulation scenarios and automated test execution
* Develop production-quality, maintainable software with appropriate testing, documentation, and system architecture
* Partner with engineering teams across mapping, simulation, fleet operations, and autonomous vehicle development

REQUIREMENTS:
* Target Background
* Strong hands-on software engineering experience building production applications, backend services, APIs, or platform tooling
* Experience developing automated data ingestion, transformation, or processing pipelines
* Experience with mapping, geospatial/spatial data, routing, simulation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, or similarly complex data environments
* Experience with automated testing, regression frameworks, CI/CD, or simulation/test orchestration
* Strong understanding of software design, system integration, debugging, reliability, and scalability
* Comfortable operating in a cloud-based engineering environment
