Autonomy Software Engineer, Integration

Meet the team:

As a part of the larger Autonomy Team, the Autonomy Integration group is responsible for the high level design of the overall system (both online and offline). The team is composed of C++ experts who are comfortable around the whole autonomy stack. We empower other autonomy groups (through tooling and design), develop the simulator (making sure it meets the needs of the org), maintain core functionality on-vehicle, add features to the vehicle safety system, and support drive testing of the Glydways vehicles. The Autonomy Integration team interfaces with many other groups across the org, including hardware and systems teams.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Develop interfaces between autonomy software components, hardware modules, and the track infrastructure systems.
• Design, implement, and maintain simulation capabilities and metrics.
• Maintain core onboard functionality around fault handling, vehicle communication, and top-level pipelines.
• Work with the onboard integration team to tie hardware to the autonomy stack.
• Work onboard and offline to fix bugs across the stack.
• Write safety-rated requirements and code for the vehicle safety system.
• Develop tooling to improve logged data processing (including visualization).
• Conduct and support on track testing of Glydways vehicles.
• Participate in design review, planning, and code review.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• BS/MS in a software or robotics related field.
• Experience with modern C++, including object oriented design, design patterns, build systems, unit testing, and the C++17 standard library.
• Experience designing and developing autonomous systems (including simulation, communications, coordination, visualization, etc).
• Experience developing and debugging on Linux operating systems.
• Desire and ability to quickly learn new skills and technologies.
