As a member of the RIF team, you will be responsible for designing, delivering, and maintaining the software frameworks upon which our advanced driver assist system is built. You will collaborate with systems engineering, autonomy (localization, perception, planning, controls), the onboard platform team, and project management to ensure autonomy applications integrate seamlessly with each other and the underlying platform. The RIF team develops the core execution and messaging frameworks that coordinate how our distributed ADAS system runs and communicates. Our frameworks encompass both real-time embedded and Linux operating systems, providing the interfaces by which hardware resources are accessed. We own a comprehensive build solution that provides a unified, static view of the system, and we own the services responsible for launching and orchestrating autonomy applications. What you'll do: * Design, develop, and test the reliable and high-performance software that all autonomy functions are built upon * Develop tools for providing insight into the performance and behavior of the system * Collaborate with autonomy teams to ensure their systems integrate well with the runtime infrastructure frameworks, enabling their success * Create automated unit and integration tests that verify the software works as expected and meets the requirements * Work closely with the simulation team to ensure that the runtime system is accurately tested off-vehicle in a virtual environment * Contribute to software architecture development within your area of ownership * Work with Product Security and Functional Safety teams to ensure the system is hardened and adheres to automotive safety standards ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
