The following are not required but a plus: * Experience in autonomous vehicle development, with expertise in software/hardware integration. Experience with ROS2 or other robotics middleware. * Experience with ML model deployment and monitoring in production environments, including data pipeline management and model versioning for safety-critical systems. * Expertise in simulation tools (e.g., CARLA) and real-world testing protocols for autonomous vehicles. ## Description Hiring Remotely in United States Entry level Remote Hiring Remotely in United States Entry level Design, develop, test, and optimize safe, scalable real-time software for production autonomous vehicle systems. Architect continuous learning infrastructure for ML model deployment and monitoring, analyze algorithms, and collaborate with embedded, platform, AI, sensor, and compute teams. Support perception, prediction, and planning integration while contributing to highway and urban autonomous driving capabilities. The summary above was generated by AI We help make autonomous technologies more efficient, safer, and accessible. Helm.ai builds AI software for autonomous driving and robotics. Our "Deep Teaching" methodology is uniquely data and capital efficient, allowing us to surpass traditional approaches. Our unsupervised learning software can train neural networks for L2/L3 autonomy, which drastically reduces the need for human annotation and is hardware-agnostic. We work with some of the world's largest automotive manufacturers towards mass production and we've raised over $100M from Honda, Mando, and others to help us scale. We are looking for versatile engineers to shape core components of the next generation of the Helm.ai autonomous stack. No prior experience in autonomous vehicles is required-we prioritize deep expertise in backend systems and a proven track record in high-impact software engineering. In this senior role, you will design, implement, and test safe, efficient, and reliable vehicle software/hardware systems, collaborate with sensor and compute vendors, partner with Helm.ai's AI teams, and work with customers to advance highway and urban autonomous driving capabilities. You will: * Design, develop, and deliver safe, scalable, and robust real-time software for mass production grade autonomous vehicle systems directly contributing to safer roads and economically viable AI deployment. * Conduct in-depth algorithm analysis, optimization, and iteration to enhance efficiency and accuracy across the AV stack. * Architect scalable continuous learning system for deploying new ML models, monitoring their performance, and prioritizing improvements. * Collaborate with platform, embedded, and AI teams to ensure cohesive development, validation, and integration of ML based perception, prediction, and planning. * Stay abreast of industry trends and emerging tools in high-performance computing, real-time systems, and AI-driven mobility. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Developer’s Perspective: Overview of the Tezos Blockchain Ecosystem](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/237-developer-s-perspective-overview-of-the-tezos-blockchain-ecosystem) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Full-stack role-based authorization in 45 minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/312-full-stack-role-based-authorization-in-45-minutes) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [What Jobs Can You Get with a Software Engineering Degree?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/398-what-jobs-can-you-get-with-a-software-engineering-degree) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
