Senior Software Engineer - Integration

Palo AltoOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Integrates Teleo's autonomy and vehicle subsystems into a cohesive platform, bridging perception, controls, networking, and hardware interfaces on autonomous construction and defense robots.

About this role

Teleo, a Havoc company, is a robotics company that transforms construction heavy equipment, including loaders, dozers, excavators, and trucks, into autonomous robots for commercial and defense applications. Our technology enables a single operator to supervise and control multiple machines simultaneously, delivering significant productivity gains while improving operator safety and comfort.

Teleo was founded by a team of experienced technology leaders who previously led the development of Lyft's Self-Driving Car program and Google Street View. Teleo recently announced its merger with Havoc AI, a fast-growing defense technology company developing coordinated fleets of autonomous maritime vessels.

This is a unique opportunity to join a team building technology with real-world impact. You will work on cutting-edge 100,000-pound autonomous robots and engineer complex systems at the intersection of hardware, software, robotics, and AI.


Mission

Own the integration of Teleo's autonomy and vehicle subsystems into a reliable, cohesive platform. Bridge the gap between independently developed components — perception, controls, networking, hardware interfaces — and make them work together on real hardware.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop features across the full vehicle software stack: sensor interfaces, communication layers, diagnostics, and system services

  • Integrate and validate subsystems from multiple teams into a unified, working platform

  • Build and maintain backend infrastructure and tooling that support vehicle operations

  • Design and implement inter-process and inter-system communication for vehicle and operator systems

  • Contribute to OTA update pipelines and deployment workflows in collaboration with the full-stack team

  • Write unit tests and help establish integration testing practices across the codebase

  • Participate in remote support rotations, including occasional early/late hours

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering in C/C++ and Python

  • Strong computer systems fundamentals: OS internals, memory management, process lifecycle, IPC

  • Hands-on embedded Linux experience at the application level

  • Comfortable reading schematics and understanding hardware interfaces at a conceptual level

  • Demonstrated ability to work across multiple subsystems and codebases

  • Comfortable working on-site in Palo Alto, CA

Strong Experience With

  • Linux systems programming: sockets, serial, device interfaces, systemd, debugging tools

  • CAN bus protocols and serial communication

  • Building and integrating multi-process systems with complex inter-component dependencies

  • Debugging at the system level: logs, traces, packet captures, core dumps

  • Working in cross-functional environments alongside firmware, perception, and controls teams

Nice to Have

  • ROS experience

  • Networking fundamentals: VLANs, Layer 2/3 debugging, packet analysis

  • Rust

  • Experience bootstrapping test infrastructure: CI integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop setups

  • Early-stage startup experience — comfortable with broad scope and fast iteration
