TITLE:Software EngineerENVIRONMENT:Autonomous vehiclesLOCATION: Oakland, CA HybridCOMPENSATIONRANGE: $210,000.00 - $300,000.00 DOQDEGREEREQUIREMENTS: Bachelor’s DegreeCITIZENSHIP: Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder and able to work for any U.S. EmployerEXPERIENCELEVEL:5+ years experienceNUMBEROFPOSITIONSAVAILABLE:1POSITIONSUMMARY:Looking for a software engineer with 5+ years of experience in autonomous systems or robotics who has strong C++ skills and hands-on experience developing autonomy software that runs on real vehicles. You should be comfortable working across the autonomy stack, perception, localization, planning, decision-making, and vehicle behavior, and have a track record of shipping production-quality algorithms on physical hardware. Bonus points if you've worked in autonomous driving, aerospace, defense, or maritime systems. What you'll do:Design, implement, and deploy production autonomy software in C++ that runs onboard our autonomous maritime vehiclesDevelop and integrate algorithms for autonomous perception, localization, planning, navigation, decision-making, and collision/terrain avoidanceContribute to sensor fusion work — integrating radar, camera, and other sensor modalities into a unified data stream for situational awareness and path planningBuild and maintain local and global planners that consume map data and sensor data to determine optimal routes and vehicle behaviorEvaluate algorithmic approaches and make practical tradeoffs among accuracy, robustness, computational cost, latency, and reliability on constrained onboard compute (Nvidia Jetson)Use simulation, testing, telemetry, and real-world vehicle data to validate autonomous behavior and diagnose failures — including building your own tooling (often in Python) to accelerate the development cycleContribute to the architecture and evolution of our next-generation autonomy stack as part of a multi-year roadmap to expand autonomous capabilities
