Senior Embedded Software Engineer - CAT

ShiftCode Analytics

Technical Leadership Role For Autonomy Software

Virtual interview all visa except H1B Onsite: Mossville, IL (local) Mossville, IL preferred - also open to candidates in San Francisco, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; or Cary/Clayton, NC

Position Overview

This is a high-impact technical leadership role focused on developing and scaling production-quality autonomy software. The engineer will lead teams responsible for perception, planning, control, and platform capabilities, moving algorithmic concepts from research prototypes into robust, field-ready solutions.

Core Responsibilities
  • Architectural Leadership: Design and own major autonomy software components across perception, localization, and planning layers to ensure systems are scalable and maintainable.
  • Production Integration: Translate research and AI/ML prototypes into real-time, production-grade software integrated with sensors (LiDAR, Radar, Camera) and vehicle networks.
  • Mentorship: Set coding standards and best practices while guiding junior and mid-level engineers through rigorous design and code reviews.
  • Field Problem Solving: Lead root-cause analysis for complex issues observed in simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), or actual field deployments.
Candidate Requirements
  • Experience: 8+ years of professional software development with a focus on autonomy, robotics, or real-time systems.
  • Core Tech Stack: Expert-level C++ (Required) and proficiency in Python.
  • Systems Knowledge: Deep understanding of Linux-based development, multithreading, memory management, and performance optimization.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field (Master's preferred).
Preferred Technical Skills
  • Experience with robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS/ROS2).
  • Hands-on experience with perception systems, sensor fusion, or motion planning algorithms.
  • Familiarity with simulation pipelines (SIL/HIL) and functional safety concepts.
  • Background in developing software for heavy industrial, automotive, or off-highway autonomous systems.
The Value Proposition
  • Production-Scale Impact: Unlike R&D-only roles, this position focuses on autonomy software that is actively moving to production on large-scale machinery.
  • Technical Influence: As a senior leader, this individual will shape the long-term platform strategy and technical roadmap for autonomous systems.
  • Global Collaboration: Work within a highly cross-functional, multidisciplinary environment alongside experts in AI, hardware, and systems engineering.
