Senior Autonomy Software Integration Engineer

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 Integration & Delivery team sits at the center of Torc's autonomy software ecosystem, bringing together capabilities developed across Perception, Behaviors, and Platform teams into a cohesive product: TorcDrive. We are responsible for ensuring autonomy applications run reliably on embedded vehicle hardware, enabling product features to move from development to deployment safely, efficiently, and at scale. Our mission is to accelerate software delivery by creating scalable integration architectures, improving development workflows, and enabling rapid iteration across the autonomy stack. We partner closely with engineering teams across the organization to transform cutting-edge autonomy technology into production-ready software that powers the future of freight. What You'll Do Lead integration, deployment, and software readiness activities for autonomy applications running on Torc's embedded compute platform. Design, develop, and maintain software infrastructure that enables seamless integration of perception, behavior, localization, mission management, and platform capabilities into TorcDrive. Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex system-level issues spanning software, hardware, networking, embedded compute, and platform services. Identify opportunities to improve software integration and delivery workflows, partnering with Developer Enablement teams to drive automation, tooling, and process improvements. Partner with Perception, Behaviors, Platform, Product, and Developer Enablement teams to integrate new capabilities into vehicle-ready releases. Support software bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting across simulation, testing, and vehicle environments. Identify integration bottlenecks, architectural limitations, and operational inefficiencies, proposing scalable solutions that improve reliability, maintainability, and engineering productivity. Contribute to release readiness activities, ensuring software quality, performance, and operational stability prior to deployment. Develop internal tools, dashboards, and workflows that improve visibility into software health, testing, release status, and system performance. Act as a force multiplier across the organization by bridging autonomy domain teams, platform teams, and infrastructure teams to accelerate integration and delivery of product capabilities. Drive technical alignment across stakeholders, helping teams navigate ambiguity, resolve cross-functional challenges, and make informed engineering tradeoff decisions. Mentor engineers and help establish best practices across software integration, validation, release engineering, and delivery processes.
