About the Role
We are looking for an Autonomy Software Engineer to help build and scale core autonomy capabilities. This is a product engineering role for people who enjoy shipping real systems: designing clean software, developing new features, improving reliability, and delivering measurable impact in real operations. The role is best suited for early-career to mid-level engineers who are ready to grow their technical ownership while working on real-world autonomy systems. Experience in robotics or autonomous driving is a plus, not a strict requirement.
What You Will Do
- Build and improve core autonomy functionality in planning, control, and estimation pipelines
- Design, implement, and maintain robust Python and C++ software for production use
- Help translate product and operational needs into practical technical solutions
- Improve system reliability, performance, and maintainability across modules
- Investigate complex issues using logs, simulation, and operational data, and contribute to durable fixes
- Develop test and validation workflows to support safe and confident releases
- Contribute to engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, and better development practices
Required Qualifications
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and hands-on C++ development experience
- Solid grasp of linear algebra, calculus, and geometry, and the ability to translate mathematical concepts into working software
- Experience developing non-trivial software systems through professional work, research, or substantial projects
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including the ability to investigate issues systematically
- Experience writing clean, testable, maintainable code
- Effective collaboration and communication skills in team environments
- Willingness to take responsibility for assigned problems and follow them through implementation and validation
Preferred Qualifications
- Robotics, autonomous driving, or other real-time/safety-critical system experience
- Practical understanding of planning, control, and/or state estimation systems
- Experience with simulation-based development and validation
- Experience with Linux-based development and CI/CD workflows
- Experience owning a software feature or component from implementation through testing and integration
Leveling (Junior/Mid)
- Junior-level engineers are expected to contribute to features and modules with guidance, while developing stronger system-level understanding and gradually taking on more ownership
- Mid-level engineers are expected to independently own features or modules, make sound implementation decisions, and contribute to technical design
Why Join Us
- Work on autonomy software that controls individual vehicles and entire fleets in real-world deployment, where your decisions directly affect safety and performance
- Collaborate with a strong cross-functional team solving practical, high-value problems
- Grow from hands-on execution to larger technical ownership over time
Recruitment Process
Application Review - Tech Interviews (2-3 rounds) - CEO Screening - Reference Check - Offer
(Please be aware that the recruitment processes & schedules may be changed depending on the job and/or other circumstances)
