Software Engineering, C++

Latitude AI ( lat.ai ) develops automated driving technologies, including L3, for Ford vehicles at scale. We’re driven by the opportunity to reimagine what it’s like to drive and make travel safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable for everyone.

When you join the Latitude team, you’ll work alongside leading experts across machine learning and robotics, cloud platforms, mapping, sensors and compute systems, test operations, systems and safety engineering – all dedicated to making a real, positive impact on the driving experience for millions of people.

The Faults Signals and Modes team at Latitude builds the on-vehicle software that monitors the health of our advanced driver assistance features and determines whether they’re ready to operate safely. Our monitoring and state handling software is critical to the reliable operation of safety features like pre-collision assistance, Level 2 and Level 3 self-driving, and driver alerts. Our work includes designing and implementing this software in C++ under high level operating systems and realtime embedded operating systems.

We also work closely with our partners on Latitude’s systems engineering team, who are primarily based in our Dearborn, MI office. We emphasize proactive communication and using online tools to keep everyone working together efficiently.

Write software to monitor system health and control the safe engagement and disengagement of driver assistance features. You’ll be contributing to a large C++ codebase, unit-testing your code, and reviewing pull requests from across the company

Work with systems engineers to design software and write requirements. Requirements aren’t written in stone—we iterate on them just like we iterate on the software itself

Work directly with test engineers to integrate our software on hardware-in-the-loop test systems and test vehicles. We’re working with real hardware to develop a real product, and we’re testing it accordingly

Build out tests and tooling to verify that our software is correct, safe, and reliable. We’re applying modern software development in a field that traditionally relied on slow, requirements-driven development and testing. Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related field and 2+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree, or PhD

Some experience with Python for scripting and data analysis

Knowledge of robotics middleware (e.g. Experience testing and integrating software that runs on real hardware, e.g. robotics, automotive, aviation, IoT, etc.

Willingness to work with systems engineers and test engineers to understand requirements, implement software, and develop unit and integration tests to drive a high-reliability software product to release.

Experience developing tools for fault-injection testing

Strong knowledge of Python

Experience using Matlab/Simulink

Experience developing software for embedded systems (i.e. bare metal software or software running under a realtime operating system on microcontrollers)
