• Verbal and written communication skills, problem solving skills, customer service and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues and make system changes as needed to resolve issues.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and implement software of embedded devices and systems from requirements to production and commercial deployment for product lines.
• Lead the design, development, and ownership of major autonomy software components across perception, localization, planning, control, or platform layers.
• Define and influence software architecture for scalable, reliable, and maintainable autonomy systems.
• Translate algorithmic concepts and research prototypes into production-grade, real-time software.
• Serve as a technical leader within the team, setting coding standards, best practices, and design patterns.
• Mentor and guide junior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical coaching.
• Contribute to technical roadmaps, risk assessments, and long-term platform strategy.
• Collaborate closely with robotics, controls, AI/ML, simulation, systems, and safety teams to deliver end-to-end autonomy capabilities.
• Drive integration of autonomy software with sensors, actuators, compute platforms, and vehicle networks (e.g., CAN, Ethernet).
• Lead debugging and root-cause analysis for complex issues observed in simulation, HIL, or field deployments.
• Ensure software quality through automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, performance optimization, and documentation.
• Analyze and enhance efficiency, stability, and scalability of system resources.
• Review project requests describing database user needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project.
• Write and code logical and physical database descriptions and specify identifiers of database to management system or direct others in coding descriptions.
