Senior System Software Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles Platform

Our Autonomous Vehicles Platform Team is searching for a hands-on systems and software platform engineer to design ground-breaking solutions that will revolutionize the world of transportation and the growing field of self-driving cars. You will collaborate with hardworking and dedicated multi-functional engineering development teams across various vehicle subsystems to integrate their work into our autonomous driving platform.

We are seeking a skilled software engineer with interest in crafting, developing and maintaining the application framework and tools that we use to develop self-driving solutions on multi-computer and heterogeneous architectures.

What you will be doing:

• Developing and optimizing software architecture and frameworks for real-world performance while matching or exceeding customer requirements
• Working on areas such as component abstraction layers, inter-process data sharing and communication, and process scheduling
• Developing efficient mechanisms to maximize utilization on computers with multiple heterogeneous hardware engines
• Solidifying existing frameworks and software components, and validate with large amounts of real and synthetic data for the improvements of the computational performance and system utilization
• Performing in-vehicle tests, collecting data, and completing autonomous drive missions
• Developing unit tests, documentation for features, evaluating quality and proposing corrective actions
• Developing highly efficient product code in C++, making use of high algorithmic parallelism offered by GPGPU programming (CUDA). Follow quality and safety standards such as defined by MISRA

What we need to see:

• 4+ years of relevant industry experience
• BS/MS or higher or equivalent experience in computer engineering, computer science or related engineering disciplines
• Excellent C and C++ programming skills
