Software Engineer, Onboard Software (Sensors)

Robots need to see the world they live in to make informed decisions. The Onboard Sensors Team brings that sight to our robot trucks. We are currently growing our small group to support integrating, fielding, ruggedizing and productionizing our sensor systems to allow Waabi Driver to navigate roads and freeways - charting a new path forward in how freight is moved. We work with live vehicles everyday, learning how to best shape our sensor platform to fit our vision of the future. Come help us build the most reliable AV platform and have a great time doing it!

- Deploy and debug software on real vehicles operating in the field daily.

- Integrate new types of sensors into existing and future onboard platforms.

- Work closely with multidisciplinary development teams to design and build innovative sensor solutions.

- Work closely with operations teams to understand live system behavior, resolve issues and form opinions on how we can mature our system going forward.


Qualifications:

- 3+ years of industry experience working on fielded sensor systems (cameras, lidar, radar, GPS, IMU).

- Enjoy collaborating with teams that span many disciplines from engineering to operations.

- Have a passion for developing efficient, readable and testable code.

- Proficiency in C\C++ or Rust (we use Rust), ideally in resource constrained environments.

- Comfort debugging Linux systems problems below the application level.

- Passionate about self-driving technologies.

- Some electronics experience - ability to reach a schematic and use basic test equipment.
