Nice to Have * Python experience for scripting and non-time-critical tooling * Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or other safety-critical real-time systems. Candidates are required to be authorized to work in the U.S. The employer is not offering relocation sponsorship, and remote work options are not available. ## Description We're looking for a senior engineer who wants to own critical infrastructure at the heart of a self-driving vehicle platform. You'll work closely with autonomy teams across AvRide to deeply understand their needs, then design and deliver the pipeline systems they depend on. This isn't a role for someone who wants to execute a spec it's for someone who wants to set technical direction, raise the bar on performance and safety, and leave a lasting mark on how AvRide builds its self-driving stack. What You'll Do * Own the design and evolution of AvRide's core pipeline framework the system responsible for orchestrating autopilot components and managing interactions between them. You'll drive this from requirements through architecture to production. * Set the standard for performance and safety. Write high-performance C++ code and build the monitoring infrastructure to enforce it - ensuring the pipeline meets the stringent requirements of a real-world autonomous vehicle system. * Take long-term ownership of data compatibility and algorithm reproducibility foundational properties that allow recorded data to reliably measure and improve autopilot quality over time. * Build developer tooling and observability systems that help autonomy engineers detect, understand, and resolve problems in their code faster. * Lead the design and automation of testing infrastructure for autopilot code defining practices adopted across teams and enforced in CI. * Advocate for simplicity and long-term maintainability. Write well-structured code, produce clear design documents, and help the team resist unnecessary complexity. * Act as a technical anchor for the team mentoring engineers, leading code reviews, and driving alignment on architecture with stakeholders across autonomy disciplines., Avride is an equal opportunity employer and committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants and employees with disabilities to ensure they have equal access to employment opportunities.
